Meta
B)
Apple
C)
Google
D)

Correct Answer :   Meta

According to Meta (Facebook's parent company), it will become the world's fastest supercomputer by the end of 2022. Meta's Artificial Intelligence(AI) Research SuperCluster  (RSC) is not completely built yet. When it is complete in mid-2022, it might become the world's fastest.
 
“Meta has developed what we believe is the world’s fastest AI supercomputer... We’re calling it RSC for AI Research SuperCluster and it’ll be complete later this year” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement on Monday(24th Jan 2022).
 
Meta is not the only company to be working on its supercomputers. Google already has its supercomputer called Sycamore which runs on 53 qubits. Nvidia and Microsoft are also working on their AI supercomputers as machine learning becomes the main avenue for these companies to explore.

The pilot phase of RSC is already online - consisting 760 Nvidia GGX A100 systems with 6,080 connected GPUs. When phase two is complete, RSC will have 16,000 GPUs in total.
