CUBox Rises as the Domestic AI Specialist Company with the Highest Computing Power

CUBox, a video recognition AI specialist company, announced on the 15th that it has emerged as the domestic AI specialist company with the most powerful computing power at the World Supercomputer Performance Evaluation held in the United States on the 13th (local time).

Computing power has established itself as a core infrastructure in artificial intelligence research, and the International Supercomputer Conference (ISC) announces computing power rankings worldwide twice a year. At "Supercomputing 2023 (SC23)" held at the Colorado Convention Center in the United States, the latest global Top500 rankings were announced, with CUBox's supercomputer performance ranking 156th globally.

The related evaluation compares the measured performance (processing speed) when running a designated computational program. CUBox's supercomputer measured performance (Rmax) is 4.96 petaflops (PF, 1,000 trillion mathematical operations per second), making it the only domestic AI specialist company ranked in the Top 500. Other domestic companies included in the ranking are large corporations such as Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, Naver, SKT, KT, Samsung Electronics, as well as national institutions like the Korea Meteorological Administration and Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology.

CUBox currently owns a total of 26 supercomputer nodes by adding 16 nodes of the high-performance GPU server H100, introduced this year, to the existing 10 nodes of A100 servers. The company’s technological prowess was already proven to be world-class through the 2021 NIST FRVT (National Institute of Standards and Technology Face Recognition Algorithm Test). Since 2022, CUBox has expanded its computing power to utilize the high-performance model ViT (Vision Transformer) more efficiently.

Moreover, CUBox plans to actively utilize its supercomputer not only to secure technological competitive advantages but also for the development of technology businesses currently focused on, such as next-generation airport services (One-ID), order-picking robots, diagnostic medical AI, and 3D X-Ray. In particular, CUBox AI LAB is building a B2C-based high-performance generative AI service using its supercomputer.

A CUBox representative stated that securing this supercomputing power has made it easier to attract outstanding talent both domestically and internationally, and that requests for high value-added technology business cooperation are expected to increase significantly.
