Oracle Unveils Largest AI Supercomputer in the World
In a significant breakthrough, Oracle has announced the launch of Zettascale10, the largest AI supercomputer in the world, as part of its collaboration with OpenAI on the Stargate supercluster. This massive computing system is designed to deliver unparalleled performance and efficiency for artificial intelligence applications.
According to Oracle EVP Mahesh Thiagarajan, "Zettascale10 combines Oracle's Acceleron RoCE networking architecture with NVIDIA's AI infrastructure to provide extremely low GPU-to-GPU latency." The Zettascale10 clusters will be housed in large gigawatt data center campuses located within a 2km radius for reduced latency.
The supercomputer is capable of delivering up to 16 zettaFLOPS (zeta floating-point operations per second) of peak performance, making it the largest AI supercomputer in the cloud. This achievement comes on the heels of Oracle's first Zettascale cloud computing cluster launched at Cloud World 2024.
Zettascale10 is a significant milestone in the development of AI infrastructure and has far-reaching implications for various industries, including healthcare, finance, and education. The system will enable customers to build, train, and deploy their largest AI models into production using less power per unit of performance and achieving high reliability.
The collaboration between Oracle and OpenAI on the Stargate supercluster is a testament to the growing importance of AI in modern computing. As Thiagarajan noted, "Our goal is to provide a platform that enables customers to harness the full potential of AI without worrying about the underlying infrastructure."
Oracle's Zettascale10 supercomputer is now available for customers to access and utilize, marking a significant step forward in the development of AI infrastructure.
