About
**Project Description**:
Exotic AI-accelerator hardware, such as the CEREBRAS Wafer Scale Engine, and the Tenstorrent Blackhole processing board offer compelling alternatives to the standard CPU+GPU offerings for AI training and inference. Within CERN openlab we would like to investigate these solutions and understand which. The student will work to port our existing AI models to one or several of these exotic platforms (depending on hardware availability), documenting the trials and tribulations of the process, and eventually resulting in fair benchmark comparisons between the different hardware approaches. This experience will then help to inform the wider community at CERN of the potential pros and cons of developing for these alternative AI platforms.
**Supervisor**: Thomas Owen James Elias Leutgeb
