With volume production of Prodigy®, the world’s first Universal Processor, scheduled for 2024, Tachyum® officials expect to build off the momentum it gained through a series of successes last year while capitalizing on the current semiconductor upcycle to revolutionize the data center.

Intanto, in Slovacchia, il supercomputer progettato da Tachyum sta suscitando grande interesse per le sue potenziali prestazioni rivoluzionarie.

Tachyum® today announced that it has successfully demonstrated a seamless execution of a non-native (x86_64) application under Linux running on the Prodigy FPGA emulation system.

With the tremendous growth of the AI chipset market for edge inference, Tachyum is looking to extend its proprietary Tachyum AI data type beyond the datacenter by providing its internationally registered and trademarked IP to outside developers.

Tachyum® announced today the release of a new research paper to address how Prodigy®, the world’s first Universal Processor, will transform the quality, efficiency, and economics of generative AI (GenAI).

Il processore Prodigy sviluppato da Tachyum ha ricevuto un importante aggiornamento a livello hardware che ha permesso di incrementare l’HPC del 50% grazie al tool EDA. L’Universal Processor, che originariamente doveva avere 128 core, ora offre 64 core aggiuntivi, portando quindi a un totale di 192 core attuali.

Tachyum’s white paper details how Prodigy delivers disruptive innovation for data centers with unprecedented power efficiency by unifying the CPU, GPGPU and TPU into a single processor die, enabling groundbreaking performance while removing the need for power-hunger, costly accelerators.

Tachyum is partnering with M Computers, an IT services provider based in the Czech Republic, to bring its Prodigy high-capacity data processing technology to commercial, industrial and scientific research organisations in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).

Le processeur Prodigy se démarque par sa polyvalence, en combinant les fonctions d’un CPU, d’un GP-GPU et d’un TPU. Le slovaque, qui en est à l’origine, s’attaquera au marché du calcul intensif l’an prochain.

“These improvements will allow for quick and seamless integration of technologies into Tachyum-based environments when deployed in data centers. As we near volume production of Prodigy, it is imperative that our software provides the tools supercomputers require to transform the industry.”

Built using field-programmable gate array (FPGA) emulation boards, Tachyum has been hailing Prodigy’s significantly improved performance and lower lower energy consumption for the past few years.

Targeted at hyperscale data centers, the Prodigy Universal Processor architecture is predicted to out-perform central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), and tensor processing units (TPUs) for data center, artificial intelligence (AI), and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. For example, Prodigy will outperform NVIDIA’s fastest GPU in HPC, as well as AI training and inference tasks (125 HPC Prodigy racks can deliver 32 tensor EXAFLOPS).

Prodigy’s intense computing muscle can help AI use cases in particular. Convolutional neural networks, deep learning AI, symbolic AI, general AI, and bio AI are the disciplines that have emerged in recent years, each with its own set of algorithms and computing criteria. Human brain modeling, meanwhile, is in high demand by R&D ventures due to its promise of extracting information from large data sets. The Tachyum Universal Processor Platform is suitable for projects like the real-time Human Brain Project, which needs more than 1019 Flops (10,000,000,000,000,000,000 floating-point operations per second – 10 exaflops), as well as supplying computing resources for science and engineering solutions that today’s systems cannot offer.
