Meta announced today that it is creating the AI Research SuperCluster (RSC), an artificial intelligence supercomputer that will be the fastest in the world when it is completed in the middle of this year. He has a single goal, to help develop the company's future metaverse.
According to the Facebook release, the RSC is not ready yet, but it is already one of the fastest artificial intelligence supercomputers in the world. So when it's complete, it will be the fastest of them all.
Meta's AI supercomputer could be a cornerstone of the company's metaverse
The computer has been under construction for the past 18 months, and currently has a speed of more than 100,000 desktop computers, according to Meta. But what will so much performance be used for? The idea is that this computer will be the basis of the new metaverse platform, in which artificial intelligence will be fundamental.
According to the company, creating the next generation of advanced AI will require new computers capable of quintillion operations per second, but they don't exist yet. On its artificial intelligence blog, Meta goes into more detail about its RSC supercomputer (and what it intends to do with it), but let's jump ahead a few.
When ready, supercomputer will have 16,000 GPUs
RSC has (currently) 760 Nvidia DGX A100 systems, with a total of 6,080 GPUs, a data transfer speed of 1600 Gb/s and 175 PB (petabytes) of storage, plus 46 petabytes of cache. In addition, throughout this year, it will have 16,000 GPUs, increasing its performance in artificial intelligence training by 2.5 times.
Meta ensures that its supercomputer is also secure by keeping users' data encrypted. In a Facebook post, Mark Zuckerberg congratulated the Meta team responsible for building the RSC, and said the supercomputer will enable new AI models that can learn from trillions of examples, understand hundreds of languages, and more.

Who's looking forward to the metaverse that Meta is named after, and also to see the RSC supercomputer in full swing? It is worth remembering that the prototype of the headset for the brand's metaverse already exists, Project Cambria.
