Meta introduced the AI Research SuperCluster (RSC) supercomputer, which will be completed by the middle of this year and will be the world’s fastest artificial intelligence computer when completed. The company says that the potential of next-generation artificial intelligence applications will be seen thanks to computers that can perform quintillions of operations per second, such as RSC.
Meta plans to use RSC to develop better AI models that will process and learn from trillions of samples. These models will be useful when generating technology for the metaverse. Meta thinks that applications managed by artificial intelligence will play a very important role in the metaverse.
RSC system has 760 NVIDIA DGX A100, so the computer is powered by 6,080 GPU. Each of the GPUs is connected to the main unit via NVIDIA Quantum 200 Gb/s InfiniBand two-level Clos fabric. Its data storage capacity uses 175 petabytes of Pure Storage FlashArray, 46 petabytes of Penguin Computing Altus cache and 10 petabytes of Pure Storage FlashBlade.
