DARPA has selected Cerebras Systems to develop a next-generation computing platform to advance high-performance computing capabilities for military and commercial applications. The contract underscores Cerebras’ expertise in creating innovative solutions that address critical challenges in computational performance.
The new platform integrates Cerebras’ wafer-scale technology with Ranovus’ co-packaged optics, addressing memory and communication bottlenecks. This collaboration combines Cerebras’ high-density interconnects with Ranovus’ advanced optical solutions, enabling efficient data transfer and processing for large-scale AI workloads.
Memory bottlenecks occur when processors cannot access data quickly enough from memory, leading to inefficiencies. Cerebras’ wafer-scale technology increases memory bandwidth through high-density interconnects, reducing latency and improving data retrieval speeds.
Communication bottlenecks arise due to slow or power-intensive electronic interconnects between components. Ranovus’ co-packaged optics use optical interconnects, which transmit data using light, offering faster speeds and lower power consumption than traditional methods.
The integration of these technologies creates a system optimized for high-performance computing (HPC) and AI applications. By addressing memory and communication bottlenecks, the collaboration between Cerebras and Ranovus supports demanding computational tasks, including real-time AI applications in the defence and commercial sectors.
