Nvidia is powering a mega Tesla supercomputer powered by 10,000 H100 GPUs

Tesla has revealed its investment into a massive compute cluster comprising 10,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs specifically designed to power AI workloads.

The system, which went online this week, is designed to process the mountains of data its fleet of vehicles collect with a view to accelerating the development of fully self-driving vehicles, according to its leader of AI infrastructure, Tim Zaman.

Tesla has been striving for years to reach the point at which its vehicles can be considered entirely autonomous and has invested more than a billion dollars into adopting the infrastructure to make this possible.

Tesla supercomputer

In July 2023, CEO Elon Musk revealed the firm would invest $1 billion into building out its Dojo supercomputer over the next year. Dojo, which is based on Tesla’s own tech, began with the D1 chip, fitted with 354 custom CPU cores. Each training tile module comprises 25 D1 chips, with the base Dojo V1 configuration including 53,100 D1 cores in total.

The firm also built a compute cluster fitted with 5,760 Nvidia A100 GPUs in June 2012. But the firm’s latest investment in 10,000 of the company’s H100 GPUs dwarfs the power of this supercomputer. 

This AI cluster, worth more than $300 million, will offer a peak performance of 340 FP64 PFLOPS for technical computing and 39.58 INT8 ExaFLOPS for AI applications, according to Tom’s Hardware. 

The power at Tesla’s disposal is actually more than that offered by the Lenoardo supercomputer, the publication pointed out, making it one of the most powerful computers on the planet.

Nvidia’s chips are the components that power many of the world’s leading generative AI platforms. These GPUs, which are fitted into servers, have several other use cases from medical imaging to generating weather models.

Tesla is hoping to use the power of these GPUs to more efficiently and effectively churn through the vast quantities of data it has to build a model that can successfully rival a human.

While many businesses would usually lean on infrastructure hosted by the likes of Google or Microsoft, Tesla’s supercomputing infrastructure is all on-prem, meanig the firm will also have to maintain all of it.

AI tools are making social engineering attacks even more convincing, and I fear that this is only the beginning

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Nick Park’s Wallace and Gromit were brought crashing into the 21st century in December 2024 with their latest adventure, Vengeance Most Fowl . The film challenges our growing dependence on smart technology in the form of a robotic garden gnome, built by Wallace to support his gardening business, which is then hacked by the Kubrick-esque Feathers McGraw for his own nefarious purposes. One of the more interesting but less commented on parts of the film shows Gromit cautiously entering his house and being greeted by what he thinks is Wallace’s reassuring voice, only to be confronted with Feathers and the robotic gnome. Technology’s ability to mimic linguistic patterns, to clone a person’s voice and understand and respond to questions has developed dramatically in the last few years. This has not gone unnoticed by the world’s criminals and scammers, with the result that social engineering attacks are not only on the rise but are more sophisticated a...
