CS-1 – the processor that breaks every limit
Cerebras Systems and the US Department of Energy have unveiled CS-1, the fastest processor ever built. The system is 10,000 times faster than a graphics processing unit and 200 times more powerful than a supercomputer.
Unprecedented performance
- 400,000 processing cores
- cuts AI training time from months to minutes
- allows thousands of hypotheses to be tested in a very short time
- can simulate nuclear reactions or complex processes faster than they occur in reality
Supercomputers vs. the CS-1 processor
Until 2013, IBM Sequoia was considered the fastest supercomputer, with over 98,000 processors and a speed of 16,000 trillion calculations per second. CS-1 surpasses this performance, redefining the limits of high-performance computing.
What is a supercomputer
A supercomputer is a category of systems with specialised architecture and resources designed to achieve massive computing power, used in science, research and security.
Future applications of the CS-1 processor
The Department of Energy intends to use CS-1 for:
- accurate weather forecasting
- optimising aircraft wing design
- research in nuclear energy and artificial intelligence
