In its second quarter earnings report for 2023, the company outlined &#8220;four main technology pillars&#8221; needed to &#8220;solve vehicle autonomy at scale: extremely large real-world dataset, neural net training, vehicle hardware and vehicle software.&#8221; &#8220;We are developing each of these pillars in-house,&#8221; the company said in its report. &#8220;This month, we are taking a step towards faster and cheaper neural net training with the start of production of our Dojo training computer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The automaker already has a large Nvidia GPU-based supercomputer that is one of the most powerful in the world, but the new Dojo custom-built computer is using chips designed by Tesla. In 2019, Tesla CEO Elon Musk gave this &#8220;super powerful training computer&#8221; a name: Dojo. Previously, Musk has claimed that Dojo will be capable of an exaflop, or 1 quintillion (1018) floating-point operations per second. That is an incredible amount of power. &#8220;To match what a one exaFLOP computer system can do in just one second, you&#8217;d have to perform one calculation every second for 31,688,765,000 years,&#8221; Network World wrote.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<div class=\"share_submission\" style=\"position:relative\">\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Tesla+Starts+Production+of+Dojo+Supercomputer+To+Train+Driverless+Cars%3A+https%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F23%2F07%2F19%2F2257249%2F%3Futm_source%3Dtwitter%26utm_medium%3Dtwitter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/twitter_icon_large-791.png\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F23%2F07%2F19%2F2257249%2Ftesla-starts-production-of-dojo-supercomputer-to-train-driverless-cars%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/facebook_icon_large-392.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tech.slashdot.org\/story\/23\/07\/19\/2257249\/tesla-starts-production-of-dojo-supercomputer-to-train-driverless-cars?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\">Read more of this story<\/a> at Slashdot.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Slashdot &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/tech.slashdot.org\/story\/23\/07\/19\/2257249\/tesla-starts-production-of-dojo-supercomputer-to-train-driverless-cars?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tesla Starts Production of Dojo Supercomputer To Train Driverless Cars<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Verge: Tesla says it has started production of its Dojo supercomputer to train its fleet of autonomous vehicles.
