“36,000 years of high definition video”. This is a feat soon possible thanks to the “AI Research SuperCluster” (RSC) of Meta, formerly Facebook. Under construction since 2020, the device aims to greatly advance research concerning Artificial Intelligence and also to propel the company into the Metaverse, this new interconnected digital universe governed by avatars. A concept on which Mark Zuckerberg relies heavily.

According to Meta engineers, the computer would currently have an equivalent power, with 6000 graphic processors already assembled, to that of Perlmutter, the American computer occupying the 5th place in the top 500 of the most powerful computers in the world. A performance still far from the account for the group.

The computing power of the RSC should therefore reach, in the long term, 5 exaflops, with the objective of milling 1,000 billion different parameters and up to one exabyte of data, i.e. the equivalent of 36,000 years of high definition video. In comparison, the most powerful computer today is called “Fugaku”, it is in Japan and has a power equivalent to just over 0.4 exaflops. The difference would be colossal.

The launch of the RSC is scheduled for this summer, and if the computer at launch is as powerful as reported, there is talk of 16,000 interconnected GPUs, then the device would climb to first place in the top 500 most powerful computers in the world. , far ahead of the others.
