Local GPU-maker's kit still no match for Nvidia's sanction-evading cards
Chinese GPU vendor Moore Threads says its datacenter-focused AI systems can now support clusters of up to 10,000 accelerators – a tenfold increase from tech it offered last year.to the South China Morning Post, marks Moore Threads' latest effort to create products that offer Chinese buyers an alternative to tech that can't be sold in the Middle Kingdom thanks to US export restrictions.
To achieve the claimed 10,000 GPU cluster, 1,250 MCCX D800 servers would need to be interconnected on a high speed network. According to Moore Threads each server in its KUAE clusters comes equipped with dual 400Gbit/sec InfiniBand. However, considering the organization's position on the US Entities list, we wouldn't be surprised if the NICs end up being swapped for a homegrown alternative once existing inventories run dry.
While a considerable amount of compute, this still falls far behind Nvidia's flagship components. A single H200 boasts nearly three times the memory and ten times the dense floating point performance of Moore Threads kit when using the FP16 or BF16 data types common in AI training.
