Supercomputer

“Some of the most expensive HPCs right now doing science and engineering work are costing six to seven hundred million dollars a pop. And they require perhaps two to three hundred million dollars of electricity to run over a five year period.”

“Today we launch our own agent called Supercomputer, and that's really designed to make Bulk of creatives to sell more.”

“We demonstrated an example of that, ah, early last year when we showed that we could simulate properties of magnetic materials to aid in new, ah, materials design that could be done on our quantum computer in 20 minutes, but it would take nearly a million year…”

“I think a Manhattan-sized supercomputer is like, let's put it this way. It is likely the end of the road. Like, it seems difficult to me that you can indefinitely progress beyond Manhattan sized supercomputers.”

“You really cannot make a smart market work if you don't run the clusters, if you don't have control over them, if you don't know how to audit them, because these are super computers, not soybeans.”

“Over, you know, 90% of the intellectual energies that they're going to spend is actually, how can we afford the 10 X larger supercomputer? And, ah, that means being very competitive, speeding this up and making safety be some priority, but not necessarily a su…”

“Willow performed a computation in under five minutes that would take one of today's fastest, fastest supercomputers 10 septillion years.”

“I don't need to go double the size of my supercomputer to hit a requisite intelligence threshold. I can just double the amount of inference time compute that my customers pay for.”

“If we have a new avenue, which is inference time compute, That doesn't require this densely interconnected supercomputer. It's fine to have nodes. You can do a lot more locally and less distributed.”

“Next year, we're going to build easily five more.”

“Tesla has also assembled the largest supercomputer in the history of humanity. That's a Tesla asset that is the GPU cluster that they've put together.”

“A supercomputer that you would build would take normally three years to plan. And then they deliver the equipment, and it takes one year To get it all working.”

“And so because you have millions, perhaps, of individual components in this supercomputer, the probability that it will run for weeks on end, and this is basically a verbatim quote from Jensen's keynote is basically zero.”

“So if you look at energy consumption, physical space, speed of signal transmission, and the frequency on the signal, you're looking at six to seven orders of magnitude in every direction, just with present day technology.”

“And so we focused first with you know, big government bids that ended up leading to supercomputer wins that we now have AMD CPU and AMD GPUs under the world's largest supercomputers.”

“To do this properly, thoroughly it means an awful lot of computing power is required, and an awful lot of time, so the resolution can't be particularly high, we're looking at about a kilometre square, and they can't be particularly fast, because there's a huge…”

“And it's also the first supercomputer that has been designed from beginning to end for artificial intelligence and deep learning.”

“There's effectively sort of Cambrian explosion happening because companies can, you know, invest ten million dollars in manufacturing infrastructure and build individual chips that are close to rivaling the capacity of an entire supercomputer. And that superco…”

“And what it means is what appear to be rudimentary quantum mechanical devices can encode a tremendous amount of information and can be used to compute things that are physically impossible to compute, not only with today's supercomputers, but with any foreseea…”

“So the supercomputer that's going in the trunk of your car needs to be even more super, and that has range implications if you're building an electric vehicle. It has gas mileage implications if you're building a gas-powered vehicle, right?”

“And so much of the experimentation that happens today on quantum physics happens inside supercomputers.”

“Well, depending on how you calculate it, we're pretty close to human brain scale computing already in the world's fastest supercomputers. And we will get there within the next couple of years.”

“In fact, you're basically getting a supercomputer in a box, something that would have been a top 10 supercomputer 10 years ago on a single server today.”
