New York welcomed world leaders who gathered for the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly. Two important Slovak events took place in NYC at this time. Radoslav Danilák was a part of the Slovak PRO Summit, which was opened by Zuzana Čaputová, President of the Slovak Republic.

Participants discussed how to create opportunities for young and successful people to stay in Slovakia. Tachyum is one of the companies that enables talents to work with the latest advanced technologies that have the potential to change the world.

Radoslav Danilák also attended the Gala dinner co-hosted by Zuzana Čaputová, President of the Slovak Republic and Petr Pavel, President of the Czech Republic at the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic and 30 years of the countries’ membership in the UN.

Tachyum was among the semiconductor companies selected for a roundtable discussion and separate meetings with the Indian Government Delegation in Silicon Valley.

Dr. Danilák spoke with Indian representatives along with top executives from global companies such as Meta, Google, Dell, Intel, Sony, and Amazon AWS.

Robert Cisár from Tachyum presented at a Private Bilingual Secondary School COBRA in Bratislava, Slovakia, how Slovak-American Tachyum and the world’s first Universal Processor Prodigy can contribute to global digitalisation and the artificial intelligence era. It is important to show young people that even small countries are relevant to the world.

Tachyum announced that it has accepted a major purchase order from a US company to build a large-scale system, based on its 5nm Prodigy Universal Processor chip, which delivers more than 50 exaflops performance that will exponentially exceed the computational capabilities of the fastest inference or generative AI supercomputers available anywhere in the world today.

Tachyum announced the expansion of its Prodigy software ecosystem with the addition of LLVM for AI and Linux Rust support. This is the latest addition to an already rich and robust collection of applications, system software, frameworks and libraries running under QEMU emulation and tested by FPGA emulation in advance of Prodigy chip production.

Tachyum announced that new EDA tools, utilized during the physical design phase of the Prodigy Universal Processor, have allowed the company to achieve significantly better results with chip specifications than previously anticipated, after the successful change in physical design tools – including an increase in the number of Prodigy cores to 192.

Tachyum is nearing completion of software packages for customers and OEM/ODM partners on Prodigy, the world’s first Universal Processor. Following porting and demonstrating standalone applications, Tachyum is progressing to full software distribution. It completed integration of BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) and UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) platforms and now it entered beta version. These firmware packages are now functional and integrated into the Prodigy FPGA prototype system.

Tachyum released a paper “Credit Unions, Blockchain, CBDC, FinTech and Tachyum Prodigy” explaining how Prodigy, the world’s first Universal Processor, can transform transactional banking while minimizing the monetary and environmental costs of blockchain’s electrical energy requirements.

“Blockchain and cryptocurrency already raise legitimate concerns about unsustainable energy consumption, but as the technology becomes more widespread in financial services, we’re going to see consumption increase to an alarming level. We cannot possibly build thousands of power plants worldwide to supply electricity for blockchain, so the real solution is greater compute efficiency—in other words, faster processing that is far more energy-efficient—such as Prodigy.”

Tachyum announced 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).

“GenAI is a truly transformational technology, but its value cannot be realized, nor can it be widely adopted, without solving the hardware challenges of running such large models. With Prodigy poised to become the mainstream cost-efficient high performance processor in 2024, these compression approaches, together with hardware support, will enable even small to midsized enterprises and academic users to work with large, dense deep learning models.”
