The Tachyum team tested and verified vector operations, 8-bit integer matrix operations for image classification using a Resnet model with custom convolution and linear operators on Prodigy.

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.

In this article, we explore the top chiplet manufacturers that are driving this shift in the semiconductor landscape, pushing the boundaries of innovation and enabling the next generation of high-performance, energy-efficient devices.

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.

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.

After completing testing of Linux 6.8 and applications in QEMU software emulation, Tachyum’s move to the 64KB page size is expected to yield up to 10-15% better performance than 4KB pages depending on the application.

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 recently announced the opening of new offices in Brno, Czech Republic, marking a significant step forward in its growth strategy. This expansion aims to strengthen the company’s capabilities as it approaches the final stages of its Prodigy Universal Processor Chip development.

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.

Tachyum has recently taken a significant step by joining the Turkish Chamber Las Vegas, enhancing its engagement with the Turkish market and extending its reach in the global business landscape.

Tachyum said this week it had completed the final build of its Prodigy FPGA emulation system, which is an important milestone for any design.

Tachyum today announced the final build of its Prodigy FPGA emulation system in advance of chip production and general availability next year.

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.

Tachyum provided support for BF16 for use with GCC 13.2 (GNU Compiler Collection) and tested the software integration of BF16. Tachyum supports the same floating-point BF16 operations as IEEE FP32 and FP64 in hardware.

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.

Tachyum is currently extending beta access, and when completed, upstreaming will be performed. Once upstreamed, machines will be available first for close OSS partners of Tachyum.

Tachyum has enabled an Instruction Profiling Unit (IPU), a low overhead way to collect the profile of non-instrumented executed code, to its Prodigy Universal Processor. The IPU is used by hyperscalers to profile applications in production execution and recompile code to gain better performance.

Tachyum 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 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.

These latest improvements are a further indication that Tachyum’s Prodigy® hardware continues to mature through its development stages prior to its public release.

Universal processor designer Tachyum has moved its Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) to beta and added RAID 1 redundant storage capabilities.

Available as both a hardware and virtualized time, Prodigy’s watchdog is part of a self-healing infrastructure within datacenters. It allows the automatic recovery of servers that hang without human intervention. This functionality is important for organizations with hundreds to thousands of servers.

Tachyum today announced that it has added a watchdog timer to its Prodigy® FPGA emulation system to help detect and recovery from device or system malfunction. The mechanism facilitates automatic correction of temporary hardware faults and prevents errant or malevolent software from disrupting system operations.

This latest advancement is part of the company’s continued commitment to releasing all open-source software in order to provide customers and partners with an easy, straightforward platform for early Prodigy testing ahead of silicon availability while reducing support requirements.

Providing Git access helps enable quick, easy, out-of-the-box testing and evaluation for customers and partners using their existing ISA prior to running their applications natively on Prodigy.
