The key to the new Cerebras Wafer-Scale Cluster is the exclusive use of using data parallelism. Data parallelism is the preferred approach for all AI work. However, data parallelism requires that all the calculations, including the largest matrix multiplications of the largest layer, fit on a single device, and that all the parameters fit in the device’s memory. Only the CS-2 -- and not graphics processing units -- achieves both characteristics for LLMs.

Key Points: 
  • With a Wafer-Scale Cluster, users can distribute even the largest language models from a Jupyter notebook running on a laptop with just a few keystrokes.
  • Large language models (LLMs) are transforming entire industries across healthcare and life sciences , energy , financial services , transportation, entertainment, and more .
  • However, training large models with traditional hardware is challenging and time consuming and has only successfully been accomplished by a few organizations.
  • Instead, Cerebras Wafer-Scale Clusters deliver push-button allocation of work to compute, and linear performance scaling from a single CS-2 to up to 192 CS-2 systems.
