Bow Pod16

Cirrascale’s Graphcloud is giving many AI innovators their first experience of what Graphcore’s IPU can do, as well as providing a flexible scale-up platform for those who need to expand their compute capability. The addition of Bow Pods to Graphcloud takes AI computing in the cloud to new levels of performance – whether that’s used to accelerate massive models across large Pod configurations, or to put more power in the hands of individual users in multi-tenancy setups.
