Tesla’s Dojo Supercomputer Breaks All Established Industry Standards

[John Clark]

By using the standard measure of Supercomputer performance, the number of floating point operations per second it can perform, Tesla's Supercomputer, which uses their own custom-built chips, is the fifth largest in the world (maybe the fourth). What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that the machine was not made to maximize its speed in a general purpose task like calculating floating points, instead it was built as a special purpose device, a training platform to improve neural net AI software, and by that measure it is by far the fastest in the world. Hmm... an AI computer that writes better AI programs, I wonder if that iteration could produce any interesting consequences?
