Latest Press Releases
November
- LAS VEGAS, November 19, 2024 –Tachyum® today announced its membership in the Slovak-Saudi Chamber of Commerce (SSCC) as part of its commitment to create and expand business connections throughout Middle Eastern markets. This move closely follows several other association agreements that Tachyum has entered to further develop partnerships with various public and private sector entities that support economic growth, trade and investments with the respective regions. SSCC is a non-profit organization established in cooperation with the Slovak Embassy in Riyadh – Saudi Arabia’s capital and main financial hub.
- LAS VEGAS, November 12, 2024 –Tachyum® today announced that it has successfully demonstrated enhanced hardware-assisted sampling running on its Prodigy® Universal Processor FPGA Emulation System, marking a breakthrough in the application of advanced compiler optimizations. Compiler optimizations are critical for enhancing performance, reducing response times, minimizing storage footprints, and improving the overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) across a wide variety of modern computational workloads. Among the most powerful techniques employed by modern compilers are link-time optimizations (LTO), profile-guided optimizations (PGO) and feedback-directed optimizations (AutoFDO).
October
LAS VEGAS, October 29, 2024 – Tachyum® today announced its participation in the China International Semiconductor Expo (IC CHINA), an exclusive exhibition taking place in the China National Convention Center in Beijing November 18-20.
For Europe, China is the largest business partner in the world by a factor close to 2x compared to any other business partner of the EU. Tachyum has Tachyum s.r.o. in Slovakia and Tachyum Czech Republic, s.r.o. in Europe. Participating in EUCCC and IC China Tachyum fulfills stated support of European Union efforts in the semiconductor space and technological sovereignty as well as helping the Slovak government efforts to search for further opportunities for economic cooperation with China.
- 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.
September
- 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.
August
- 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.
July
- 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, July 9, 2024 – Tachyum® today announced that the Prodigy® software distribution package and pre-configured applications will be optimized for 64KB pages for Linux and 16KB Indirection Unit (IU) for solid state drives in advance of QLC NAND flash eventual replacement for HDDs in the data center. This achievement ensures that Prodigy-enabled systems will support future QLC NAND flash, networking requirements and make 16KB storage networking stack much more efficient for 1.6T Ethernet in servers.
June
- 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.
