Using the second generation Cerebras Wafer Scale Engine (WSE-2), researchers were able to perform atomic scale simulations at the millisecond scale – 179x faster than what is possible on the world's leading supercomputer 'Frontier,' which is built with 39,000 GPUs.
Key Points:
- Using the second generation Cerebras Wafer Scale Engine (WSE-2), researchers were able to perform atomic scale simulations at the millisecond scale – 179x faster than what is possible on the world's leading supercomputer 'Frontier,' which is built with 39,000 GPUs.
- This breakthrough allows researchers to gain unprecedented insights into the long-term behavior and future evolution of materials at the atomic scale.
- "This work changes the landscape of what is possible with molecular dynamics simulations," said Michael James, Chief Architect of Advanced Technologies and co-founder of Cerebras Systems.
- "Simulations that would have taken a year on a traditional supercomputer can now be completed in just two days.
