Press Releases before 2020

Bratislava, Slovakia/ LAS VEGAS, Nevada, December 21, 2021 – Tachyum™ today announced it has entered into an agreement with another prestigious university in Slovakia. Tachyum will collaborate with Technical University of Košice (TUKE) on optimizations of supercomputer and power efficient data centers, scientific research, and innovations in the field of Big Data and artificial intelligence (AI). Students and teachers will get access to Tachyum’s Prodigy emulation system for selected projects.

“Signing a memorandum of understanding with Tachyum is an excellent signal and an inspiring example for our students and teachers in at least two respects. Firstly, we are proud that the founder and CEO of Tachyum, Radoslav Danilak, is a successful graduate of the Technical University in Košice, which, we firmly believe, testifies to the quality work of our teachers. The excellent Dr. Danilak’s results at the world level will clearly motivate our students to make even greater efforts to achieve similar success and fulfill their own dream,” said Professor Anton Čižmár, vice-rector for Innovation and Technology Transfer at TUKE. “Secondly, it is a great opportunity for all of us at the university to work with Tachyum in such attractive areas as Big Data, AI or high-performance supercomputers, and thus use the potential and knowledge of our students for specific applications. Our university science park Technicom, which is the center of the innovation ecosystem in the region, will undoubtedly contribute to this effort with its infrastructure and research laboratories.”

Bratislava, Slovakia/ LAS VEGAS, Nevada, December 8, 2021 – Tachyum™ today announced it has entered into an agreement with Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice (UPJŠ) in Eastern Slovakia to collaborate on open supercomputing projects, scientific research, and innovations in AI and Big Data.

The agreement brings students and professors a new theoretical apparatus. Tachyum gives them access to its Prodigy processor emulation system for selected projects, and the opportunity to work with the latest world-class HPC technology for open-source public projects and scientific research activities, as well as active involvement in the construction of supercomputer centers.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada, September 28, 2021 – Tachyum™ today announced the hiring of Robert Cisar and Marwan Ajam Oghli as Business Development Managers for the EMEA region. They are responsible for developing international business strategies and helping the company meet its aggressive production timeline goals for the release and volume production of its Prodigy Universal Processor Chip.

Cisar has more than 20 years of managerial experience, leading EMEA departments, projects and businesses with financial responsibility in global corporations. As a trusted advisor demonstrating an ability to bridge business and IT, he engaged customers on CXO-level. Cisar comes to Tachyum from ESET, where he was responsible for overall sales for enterprise segment. He previously held business development and service excellence management positions at HP and Siemens.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada, September 21, 2021 – Tachyum™ today launched a new Customer and Partner portal to support the needs of those interested in early access to the company’s Prodigy Universal Processor Chip. The interactive resource platform will allow wider access to the world’s first universal processor beyond current partners who have had access to the Prodigy emulation system.

Tachyum’s Customer and Partner portal is a gateway to resources about Prodigy, the world’s first universal processor. Approved customers and partners will have access to the fully functional Prodigy emulation system running native Linux to perform early testing and software development prior to a full four-socket reference design motherboard, which is expected to be available in early 2022. Customers and partners will be able to test x86 application compatibility and mixed native/emulated x86, ARM and RISC-V binaries. Select university partners will also be granted access to the company’s infrastructure.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada, August 31, 2021 –Tachyum™ Inc. today announced that it has successfully executed the Linux boot process on the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) prototype of its Prodigy Universal Processor, in 2 months after taking delivery of the IO motherboard from manufacturing. This achievement proves the stability of the Prodigy emulation system and allows the company to move forward with additional testing before advancing to tape out.

Tachyum engineers were able to perform the Linux boot, execute a short user-mode program and shutdown the system on the fully functional FPGA emulation system. Not only does this successful test prove that the basic processor is stable, but interrupts, exceptions, timing, and system-mode transitions are, as well. This is a key milestone, which dramatically reduces risk, as booting and running large and complex pieces of software like Linux reliably on the Tachyum FPGA processor prototype shows that verification and hardware stability are past the most difficult turning point, and it is now obvious that verification and testing should successfully complete in the coming months. Designers are now shifting their attention to debug and verification processes, running hundreds of trillions of test cycles over the next few months, and running large scale user mode applications with compatibility testing to get the processor to production quality.

Bratislava, Slovakia/ LAS VEGAS, Nevada, August 17, 2021 – Tachyum™ today announced increased hiring efforts are underway at its Slovakian offices to support the company’s continued growth as it nears product launch and volume production of its Prodigy Universal Processor Chip later this year. Tachyum plans to use a portion of the proceeds from its recently closed Series B funding round to expand its business development team to meet its aggressive production timeline goals.
