Cerebras Systems debuts AI supercomputer with 13.5M+ processor cores
Chip startup Cerebras Systems Inc. today debuted Andromeda, a supercomputer optimized to run artificial intelligence applications that features more than 13.5 million processor cores.
Sunnyvale, California-based Cerebras Systems is backed by more than $720 million in venture funding. The startup sells a chip called the WSE-2 that is specifically designed to run AI software. The new Andromeda supercomputer that Cerebras Systems debuted today is based on the WSE-2 chip.
According to Cerebras Systems, Andromeda can provide performance in excess of one exaflop when running AI applications. One exaflop equals 1 million trillion calculations per second. The startup says that Andromeda’s performance makes it suitable for, among other use cases, training large language models, which are complex neural networks that can perform tasks such as translating text and generating software code.
NIH grant funds cancer prevention vaccine research
A multidisciplinary team of Weill Cornell Medicine researchers has received a five-year $5.7 million grant from the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health to fund a center aimed at developing messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines to deter cancer development in at-risk groups.
The Weill Cornell Medicine CAP-IT Center for LNP RNA Immunoprevention was selected as one of two founding members of the Cancer Prevention-Interception Targeted Agent Discovery Program (CAP-IT), a collaborative research network funded by the NCI to discover agents that prevent or intercept cancer in high-risk populations.
This “Alien” Mineral Was Found In Israel And It’s Much Harder Than Our Diamonds
Very resistant, rare mineral.
An astonishing discovery has caught the attention of geologists from all over the world. This discovery was made in the Zevulun Valley by a mining company. The Zevulun Valley, located in northern Israel near Mount Carmel, is called Zevulun Valley.
It was an extremely lucky moment for the mining business to discover a new mineral. The International Mineralogical Association adds each year a new mineral into a list of newly certified minerals.
Is GAMAM (Google, Amazon, Meta, Apple, Microsoft) Losing Steam
It will likely only be a matter of time before all of GAMAM starts implementing cost-cutting measures like reducing its workforce.
