Meta’s AI supercomputer
Why in news:
- Facebook-parent Meta recently announced that it is building an AI supercomputer, the AI Research SuperCluster (RSC).
What is a supercomputer
- A supercomputer can perform high-level processing at a faster rate when compared to a normal computer.
- AI Supercomputers are made up of hundreds or thousands of powerful machines which use better artificial intelligence (AI) models to improve operations that process huge amounts of data in less time than normal computers. They work together to perform complex operations that are not possible with normal computing systems
- AI supercomputers are built by combining multiple graphic processing units (GPUs) into compute nodes, which are then connected by a high-performance network fabric to allow fast communication between those GPUs
- Meta considers the RSC as a powerful supercomputer capable of quintillions of operations per second. It can perform tasks like translating text between languages and help identify potentially harmful content on Meta’s platform.
