📝 Editorial: Meta’s AI SuperComputer
Large neural networks are the norm in modern deep learning, and they certainly require a lot of computation power. From that perspective, access to large computing resources has become a key requirement to advance AI research. Considering the progress in areas such as self-supervised learning of transformers, it’s hard not to be curious about what those AI models could accomplish with virtually limitless computation power. This week Meta (Facebook) AI announced a giant step towards that goal by unveiling a new AI supercomputer.
Called the AI Research SuperCluster (RSC), Meta’s supercomputer was designed to train large language and computer vision models in trillions of parameters. RSC’s architecture is based on 760 NVIDIA DGX A100…
