Each year, the Science Rendezvous street fair attracts tens of thousands of visitors to the University of Toronto, aiming to foster an appreciation of S.T.E.A.M. (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) in the community and to enhance scientific literacy. We will continue to run our programming this year through an online format and would like to invite you to attend our events – from Science Chase experiments, our annual Science Fair competition, and our first ever production, “The SR Show”, featuring engaging demonstrations from over 30 University of Toronto departments. We hope you will join us for a day filled with fun and science!

TITLE: SCALE-OUT-FIRST MICROARCHITECTURE FOR EFFICIENT AI TRAINING
==============================
PRESENTERS:
Drago Ignjatovic, VP of Silicon Engineering
Davor Capalija, Fellow, ML & Architecture
Jasmina Vasiljevic, Director, Compiler
——————————
TOPIC:
The rapidly growing compute demands and complexity of training AI models necessitate the creation of a new computing architecture that can efficiently enable the unprecedented scale-out to 10s and even 100s of thousands of devices. While many vendors focused primarily on layering the system architecture on top of a ?fundamentally single-device architecture? to address the scale-out challenges, Tenstorrent has designed every aspect of its microarchitecture from the ground up for scale-out to a virtually unlimited number of devices. This presentation will introduce our AI Training architecture and its embodiment in a 12nm Wormhole device, and outline the key features of our scale-out-first microarchitecture.The team will also share about open full-time opportunities during the session. The students will have the opportunity to interact with presenters and other team members of the company.
