Learn Cerebras basics

Big picture view of a CS system How Cerebras works

Start with this big picture before you dive into your ML development with Cerebras system.

Programming model and the compiler

Get to know how Cerebras separates compile vs execution, and the compiler flow from framework to the executable.

The Cerebras server cluster

How a Cerebras multi-worker configuration differs from a GPU multi-worker configuration.

Weight streaming vs pipelined execution

How to run an extremely large model such as a GPT-3 model (with ~1 billion parameters) or a smaller sized model.

ML workflow on Cerebras Cerebras ML workflow

Whether your framework is TensorFlow or PyTorch, get to know the general ML workflow on Cerebras first.
