Wafer-Scale Engine 2 (WSE-2)

The Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE) is the revolutionary central processor for our deep learning computer system. The second-generation WSE (WSE-2) powers our CS-2 system: it is the largest computer chip ever built and the fastest AI processor on Earth. Unlike legacy, general-purpose processors, the WSE was built from the ground up to accelerate deep learning: 850,000 cores for sparse tensor operations, massive high bandwidth on-chip memory, and interconnect orders of magnitude faster than a traditional cluster could possibly achieve. Altogether, it gives you the deep learning compute resources equivalent to a cluster of legacy machines all in a single device, easy to program as a single node – radically reducing programming complexity, wall-clock compute time, and time to solution.
