Elon Musk Expands Colossus Supercomputer to 200,000 GPUs in Memphis, Electricity Needs Equal to 100,000 Homes
Oct 31, 2024, 03:49 PM
Elon Musk is expanding xAI’s Colossus supercomputer in Memphis by adding 100,000 Nvidia Hopper GPUs, doubling its current capacity to a total of 200,000 GPUs. The project, which is already underway, is expected to be completed by the end of 2024. While Musk touts the supercomputer as the most powerful AI training system globally, concerns have emerged from the Memphis community regarding its environmental impact and strain on the local electrical grid. Residents have expressed worries that the supercomputer's electricity requirements will be equivalent to those of 100,000 homes, further exacerbating pollution and energy issues in the area.
