Waferscale, meet atomic scale: Uncle Sam to test Cerebras chips in nuke sims
America's Sandia National Labs this week said it will investigate using Cerebras' wafer-sized accelerator chips to determine that the nation's nuclear weapons will work as intended, should global annihilation ever be desired.
With support from the Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos national labs, the deployment will be overseen by the Dept of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration , which is tasked with, among other things, maintaining the reliability and extending the lifespan of city-obliterating warheads through the use of simulations running on supercomputers.
Seeing as most of us have agreed to no longer conduct real-world tests of these devices, simulations with data fromare needed instead. And so, Cerebras' silicon will be test-driven to see whether it can help here. “This collaboration with Cerebras Systems has great potential to impact future mission applications by enabling artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, which are an emerging component of our production simulation workloads,”Simon Hammond, who as a federal program manager oversees computational systems and software at the NNSA's Advanced Simulation and Computing team.
That's an interesting mention of AI: Cerebras' chips are designed to accelerate this kind of work, and there's quite some
