introduction】 musk just gave it to him a few days agotesla’s texas supercomputing cluster named “cortex”. only a few days later, lao ma posted a video on social media again showing off his new computer room.

musk: tesla’s supercomputing infrastructure construction team is great!

musk doesn’t treat the big guys as outsiders.

to be honest, you rarely see such a picture. this is just like the starship base. you can open the door and take a look. otherwise, musk is absolutely confident in his own technology.

i have never seen any domestic company expose its core cluster computer room so casually and take photos for everyone to see.

as you can see from the video, the server racks being assembled in this super cluster are densely packed in rows.

and some machines are working and the sound is very noisy.

eachthere are about 8 servers in the rack, just by scanning it with his mobile phone, it was probably a rack with 16 to 20 rows, and it was estimated that there were 2,000 gpus.

it is still under construction and not fully operational.

and what’s interesting is that someone found a sign posted on the ceiling, which was a digital sign handwritten on a cardboard.looks like a grassroots team

according to some reports on the internet, this cluster is currently justsmall area preliminary operation drill, also using a temporary cooling system.

as i said in the video before, this solution requires 130 megawatts of power to run.

after all the functions are turned on, it can directly operate up to 500 megawatts.

so as can be seen in the photo, a set of very exaggerated fans are also being built on the construction site to cool this super cluster.

no matter how you look at it, it looks a bit like a large graphics card fan.

whether this system is a gpu or a cooling system, the power requirements must not be low. so since construction can be carried out with such mobilization, i think the problem of 130 megawatts of electricity needed in the early stage should be solved with a high probability.

cortex attracted media attention because of itshuge fan system under construction, these fans are used to cool the entire super cluster, musk demonstrated the system in june.

the fan stack provides cooling for the liquid cooling solution provided by supermicro,the solution is designed to eventually handle 500 mw of cooling and power needs

for comparison, a typical coal-fired power plant generates about 600 megawatts of electricity.

the cortext super cluster was originally designed to train the tesla fsd system and optimus robots.

he is building rockets, self-driving cars, and tinkering with robots. he even dares to show off his wealth to everyone. i don’t know if he is really confident or just a daring person.

if this cortex super cluster can really run as planned, tesla's autonomous driving and robotics technology will probably be far behind others.

then we'll see if lao ma can figure out this "large graphics card fan"!
