TotalEnergies and Cerebras: Accelerating into a Multi-Energy Future (Updated) - Cerebras

This post details TotalEnergies' adoption of the Cerebras CS-2 system to accelerate multi-energy research, specifically seismic wave propagation modeling using stencil-based finite difference algorithms. The CS-2 system demonstrated over 200x performance improvement compared to a modern GPU. The post highlights the Cerebras architecture's advantage in memory-bound and communication-bound HPC workloads due to its wafer-scale integration, placing all processors on a single chip. It also mentions the Cerebras Software Development Kit (SDK) and Cerebras Software Language (CSL) as tools for developing custom kernels and leveraging wafer-scale computing.
