Big Data Clusters: Building the Best Infrastructure Platform for Big Data Workloads

Our friends over at Silicon Mechanics put together a guide for the Triton Big Data Cluster™ reference architecture that addresses many challenges and can be the big data analytics and DL training solution blueprint many organizations need to start their big data infrastructure journey. The guide is for a technical person, especially those who might be a system admin in government, research, financial services, life sciences, oil and gas, or a similarly compute-intensive field.

Cerebras Wafer-Scale Cluster Brings Push-Button Ease and Linear Performance Scaling to Large Language Models

Cerebras Systems, a pioneer in accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) compute, unveiled the Cerebras Wafer-Scale Cluster, delivering near-perfect linear scaling across hundreds of millions of AI-optimized compute cores while avoiding the pain of the distributed compute. 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. This replaces months of painstaking work with clusters of graphics processing units (GPU).
