What’s Better Than 40 GPU-based Computers? A Computer With 40 GPUs

Posted by in categories: computing, engineering

At the IEEE International Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture in February, Illinois computer engineering associate professor Rakesh Kumar and his collaborators will make the case for a wafer-scale computer consisting of as many as 40 GPUs. Simulations of this multiprocessor monster sped calculations nearly 19-fold and cut the combination of energy consumption and signal delay more than 140-fold.


Engineers aim to use “silicon interconnect fabric” to build a computer with 40 GPUs on a single silicon wafer.
