Cerebras Systems recently announced a milestone of training multibillion-parameter Natural Language Processing (NLP) models, including GPT-3XL 1.3 billion models, GPT-J 6B, GPT-3 13B, and GPT-NeoX 20B, on a single CS-2 system. According to the claims made by Cerebras Systems, a single CS-2 system with a single Cerebras wafer can now train models with up to […]
Cererbras’ All NEW Wafer Scale Engine Packs 2.6 Trillion Transistors For Deep Learning Workloads
https://www.electronics-lab.com/cererbras-all-new-wafer-scale-engine-packs-2-6-trillion-transistors-for-deep-learning-workloads/
In 2019, we saw one of the largest single computer chips manufactured by a California-based AI startup, Cerebras, that unveiled the Wafer-Scale Engine for deep learning applications. The 1.2 trillion transistors-packed Wafer-Scale Engine came with 18GB of on-chip SRAM and an interconnect speed of 100 Pb/s (Petabytes per Second). After two years of development, the […]

SiC/GaN Poised for Power
https://www.electronics-lab.com/sicgan-poised-for-power/
by R. Colin Johnson @ eetimes.com: PORTLAND, Ore.—Today Yole Development predicted that power transistors would radically shift from silicon wafers to silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) substrates—to achieve higher power in smaller spaces, according to its GaN and SiC Devices for Power Electronics Applications report. One of the big drivers behind the shift is the […]
