Facebook’s parent company Meta plans to launch the world’s fastest supercomputer this year. It should then be used primarily for artificial intelligence applications. That’s kind of like betting the Internet on high-speed drugs.
Facebook’s parent company Meta has big plans for the future. This has become clear at least since the introduction of the Metaverse. Company boss Mark Zuckerberg envisions a virtual world of beach experiences, online tennis with stars, and endless video games in the living room.
Of course, Meta needs decent computer power for all of this. Now the company has shown what it has up its sleeve. Meta has now introduced its super research centre, the Research SuperCluster (RSC ). A supercomputer is already in use here. By July 2022, Meta wants to turn it into the world’s fastest supercomputer.
Therefore, the RSC will focus primarily on the development of applications with artificial intelligence (AI). Experts want to develop AI models that can learn from trillions of examples, operate in hundreds of languages, and create new augmented reality tools. All of this should ultimately benefit the Metaverse in particular.
Translated, this means: The meta-supercomputer is already ensuring that computer representations are extremely fast and that AI programs can be trained in the shortest possible time. This makes the meta-supercomputer one of the fastest supercomputers in the world.
This is precisely what the technology group would like to go a step further. By July 2022, the capacity is expected to almost triple to 16,000 GPUs. The computer should then carry out up to a trillion operations per second.
Complex computer applications, such as augmented reality or artificial intelligence, recognize hate speech online in seconds and require computer power. This not only applies to use but also to programming when you teach things to computers.
Supercomputers can provide just that. At Meta, it currently takes around nine weeks to train a model. With the expanded supercomputer, which will probably be the fastest globally, it should only take three weeks.
This would also allow for more actual and smoother experiences in the virtual world. This would be like the Internet on high-speed drugs, from streaming to video games to augmented reality.
At Meta, this performance should be used for applications in the Metaverse and protect users, says the company.
We can train models faster to determine if an action, sound, or image is harmful or harmless. This research will help protect the people who use our services today, and in the future, we will build for our Metaverse. That’s kind of like betting the Internet on high-speed drugs.
