TechnologyAlibaba’s V900 AI chip reportedly planned for a 500,000-card cluster
A post questions Alibaba’s claim that V900 is the strongest domestic AI chip, while projecting a large jump in cluster computing power and high-bandwidth memory.
TLDR
Alibaba calls V900 the strongest domestic AI chip, according to a post analyzing the claim. The post describes plans for 1,024-card SuperNodes and a 500,000-card cluster, versus 128-card SuperNodes and a 122,000-card cluster for M890. It estimates the full V900 cluster would be roughly 12 times as powerful, with six times as much high-bandwidth memory. Even so, the analysis argues Alibaba likely still trails the Ascend team in total compute and memory, and expects the cluster to serve Alibaba’s own cloud computing team.
