Graphcore
We build Graphcore products into large-scale AI solutions for our customers and the Cloud Development Team is responsible for providing such systems to both internal users via private clouds and customers via our own public clouds. Often the internal systems will be using and developing pre-release hardware and software, so it’s vital you are comfortable with unproven components.
