According to a Jan. 24 blog post announcing the hardware, Facebook estimates RSC is already one of the world's fastest supercomputers \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>and will take the top rank when it is fully operational in mid-2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The business claimed, “Developing the next generation of smart AI will necessitate powerful new computers capable of quintillions of operations per second.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, the work done with RSC will pave the way toward building technologies for the next major computing platform \u2014 the metaverse<\/a>, where AI-driven applications and products will play an important role.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In a Facebook post on January 25, CEO Mark Zuckerberg added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe experiences we're building for the metaverse require enormous compute power (quintillions of operations\/second!) and RSC will enable new AI models that can learn from trillions of examples, understand hundreds of languages, and more.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

To build “advanced AI” for computer vision, natural language processing<\/a>, and speech recognition, the machine will be able to work across hundreds of different languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe hope RSC will help us build entirely new AI systems that can, for example, power real-time voice translations to large groups of people, each speaking a different language, so they can seamlessly collaborate on a research project or play an AR game together.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Meta did not reveal the location of the computer or the costs of its research and manufacture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camilla Russo, a decentralized financial analyst, compared Meta's new machine to the Ethereum network<\/a>, which is already regarded as a worldwide “supercomputer” by some in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raja Koduri, Vice President of Intel's advanced computing systems and graphics<\/a> department, stated in December 2021 that the present computational infrastructure will have to expand 1,000-fold to run the Metaverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For real-time applications, you need access to petaflops [one thousand teraflops] of computation in less than a millisecond, less than ten milliseconds,” Koduri said at the time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Metaverse, which is often referred to as the next iteration of the internet, is a virtual arena where people may work, play, and socialize – generally through the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
