Press Releases

LAS VEGAS, October 15, 2024 – Tachyum^® today announced that it has successfully achieved the desired performance and stability of the Linux operating system and applications running as part of QEMU emulations and will expand all testing and optimization processes of its Prodigy^® software distribution to 64KB page size on the FPGA prototype. Tachyum first announced its intentions to move to 64KB page size as the default of its Prodigy software distribution – a completely integrated software stack and package available to early adopters and customers as a pre-installed image as part of beta testing – in June.

LAS VEGAS, September 24, 2024 – Tachyum^® today announced the opening of new positions in Brno, Czech Republic, to support the company’s continued growth as it nears tape-out of the Prodigy Universal Processor Chip. The first hardware engineers who have been hired are starting on November 1. Brno is in the heart of a burgeoning Central European technology region that continues to attract international companies, innovation and talent. As such, it is an ideal location for Tachyum to attract qualified IT professionals interested in unlocking unprecedented performance, power efficiency and cost advantages within the data center to solve the most complex problems in big data analytics, deep learning, mobile and large-scale computing.

LAS VEGAS, September 10, 2024 –Tachyum^® today announced that it has become a member of the Turkish Chamber Las Vegas, a global business hub fostering strong ties between Turkish enterprises and the business community in Las Vegas. This move is part of Tachyum’s continued commitment to expanding and creating strong business connections in the Turkish, Middle Eastern and Central Asian markets. The mission of TCLV is to foster robust economic ties between the Turkish and American business communities by facilitating trade, investment and collaboration.

LAS VEGAS, August 13, 2024 –Tachyum^® today announced the final build of its Prodigy^® FPGA emulation system in advance of chip production and general availability next year. As part of the announcement, the company is also ending its purchase program for prototype systems that was previously offered to commercial and federal customers. These last hardware FPGA prototype units will ensure Tachyum hits its extreme-reliability test targets of more than 10 quadrillion cycles prior to tape-out and before the first Prodigy chips hit the market.

LAS VEGAS, July 30, 2024 – Tachyum^® today announced that BF16 has been successfully tested and verified operational on its Prodigy^® FPGA, ensuring increased throughput for users’ high-performance processing needs. BF16, or bfloat16, is a shortened floating point data type based on the IEEE 32-bit single-precision floating point data type (f32). It is used to accelerate machine learning by reducing storage requirements and increasing the calculation speed of ML algorithms. Tachyum provided support for BF16 for use with GCC 13.

LAS VEGAS, June 18, 2024 – Tachyum^® today announced that it will begin upstreaming code to the open-source community to encourage expanded evaluation opportunities with the Prodigy platform. As part of the testing process, Tachyum will donate computing resources to the OSS community for expanded evaluation opportunities with the Prodigy^® platform. In preparing to upstream to open-source software (OSS), Tachyum has identified and solved many existing issues to improve public utilization and allow collaboration across the community.

LAS VEGAS, June 11, 2024 – Tachyum^® today announced that it enabled an Instruction Profiling Unit (IPU), a low overhead way to collect the profile of non-instrumented executed code, on its Prodigy^® Universal Processor. IPU is used by hyperscalers to profile applications in production execution and recompile code to gain better performance. This latest enhancement is part of the company’s focus on refining and performance optimization of the Tachyum Software Distribution Package upon its beta release.

LAS VEGAS, June 4, 2024 –Tachyum^® today announced that it has moved to 64KB page size as the default of its Prodigy^® software distribution, a completely integrated software stack and package, which is now available to early adopters and customers as a pre-installed image as part of the beta phase of testing. Tachyum completed testing with 4KB pages and 4KB support is now viewed as legacy. The company will instead focus on 64KB pages with 4KB pages only serving as a backup solution for those who have a special need.

LAS VEGAS, May 28, 2024 – Tachyum^® today announced that it has successfully integrated the BF16 data type into its Prodigy^® compiler and software distribution, which is now available to early adopters and customers as a pre-installed image as part of beta testing. BF16, or bfloat16, is a shortened floating point data type based on the IEEE 32-bit single-precision floating point data type (f32). It is used to accelerate machine learning by reducing storage requirements and increasing the calculation speed of ML algorithms.
