Cloud native EDA tools & pre-optimized hardware platforms
Cerebras Systems, based in Sunnyvale, California, is known for developing the world's largest silicon chip, the Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE). Their second-generation WSE-2 boasts an impressive 46,225mm? silicon area, containing 84 interconnected die, each 550mm?. This innovative design significantly reduces communication overhead and physical connections within AI systems, facilitating massive memory, compute, and communication capabilities.
In designing the Wafer-Scale Engine 2, we needed a trusted IP vendor to provide a comprehensive monitoring and sensing solution. The 草榴社区 DesignWare In-Chip temperature sensors and voltage monitors enabled us to understand the dynamic thermal and supply conditions of our WSE-2 in real-time, which was important for power and performance optimization."
