Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
The Cerebras WSE-3, or Wafer Scale Engine 3, is a processor built from an entire silicon wafer rather than being cut into individual chips, packing hundreds of thousands of AI-optimized cores and their interconnects onto one piece of silicon to eliminate the communication bottlenecks that occur when many separate chips are wired together.
