.. _cerebras-docs: Explore the Documentation ========================= .. raw:: html

This documentation will help you program for the CS system. It covers both basic and advanced topics. Use these docs to accelerate your machine learning training and inference applications on the CS system. Here you will find getting started guides, quickstarts, tutorials, code examples, release notes, and more.

Learn Cerebras basics

How Cerebras works How Cerebras works

Start by learning the basics about how Cerebras systems are deployed and used.

Cerebras installations

Cerebras offers two forms of deployment for CS systems, Wafer-Scale clusters and Original Cerebras installations. Which one do you have?

Cerebras Software Platform

The Cerebras Graph Compiler (CGC) compiles your ML code into a binary for execution on a CS system.

Pipelined and Weight Streaming execution

Cerebras Software Platform supports two execution modes on CS systems.
