Groq Announces World's First Architecture Capable of 1,000,000,000,000,000 Operations per Second on a Single Chip

Groq – the fast growing start-up, inventor of the Tensor Streaming Processor (TSP) architecture and new class of compute – today announced that its new Tensor Streaming Processor (TSP) architecture is capable of 1 PetaOp/s performance on a single chip implementation. The Groq architecture is the first in the world to achieve this level of performance, which is equivalent to one quadrillion operations per second, or 1e15 ops/s. Groq's architecture is also capable of up to 250 trillion floating-point operations per second (FLOPS). "We are excited for the industry and our customers," said Jonathan Ross, Groq's co-founder and CEO. "Top GPU companies have been telling customers that they'd hoped to be able to deliver one PetaOp/s performance within the next few years; Groq is announcing it today, and in doing so setting a new performance standard. The Groq architecture is many multiples faster than anything else available for inference, in terms of both low latency and inferences per second. Our customer interactions confirm that. We had first silicon back, first-day power-on, programs running in the first week, sampled to partners and customers in under six weeks, with A0 silicon going into production."
