Chinese researchers report that Sunway's newest car is as powerful as the American Frontier. His
AI has become a rival of the human brain?
Chinese scientists used a supercomputerSunway to train an AI model called bagualu, which means "alchemist's pot." They presented their findings at the virtual meeting on "Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming," an international conference organized by the American Association for Computing Machinery.
They taught Baguala a total of 174 trillionparameters. The model rivals the number of synapses in the brain, the South China Morning Post reports. In fact, the exact number of synapses in the brain is incredibly difficult to map. According to some estimates, there are about 1,000 trillion of them in the human brain.
However, this does not mean that 174 trillion parametersis not an impressive result when it comes to artificial intelligence. For example, last year Google Brain was noted for developing a language model of artificial intelligence with 1.6 trillion parameters.
What is his power?
Actual performance of OceanLightstated at 5.3 exaflops. It has 37 million processor cores—four times more than Frontier—and nine petabytes of memory, the researchers say.
Chinese engineers also claim that 96,000semi-independent computer systems (nodes) are similar in power to the human brain. Communications between them occur at a speed of more than 23 petabytes per second.
Researchers who name their modelbrain-scale AI model, the new Sunway is said to use its own chips with unique features, including power saving and high bandwidth.
Where is the "artificial brain" useful?
The team that created the AI model "at scale"brain," says the work can be used for autonomous vehicles, computer vision, facial recognition and chemistry, among many other applications.
Another Chinese Tianhe supercomputer fromThe Tianjin National Supercomputing Center was used to rapidly screen and discover pharmaceuticals during the early peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, providing insight into the real-life use cases for these incredibly powerful machines.
