Tachyum released the world’s first universal processor, Tachyum Prodigy, in May 2022, promising to increase microchip performance and dramatically reduce power consumption. While high-performance computing and AI applications typically require multiple CPUs and GPUs, Tachyum Prodigy has rolled that performance into one single microprocessor while offering backward compatibility with existing 64-bit x86 and Intel and Linux binaries.

Unless a country is a superpower, it’s not easy to attract the world’s attention. For a small country to get the support of other nations and peoples, it needs something unique, something that’s the best in the world.

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).

The numbers raised eyebrows and skeptics have questioned those claims, but the company’s CEO Radoslav Danilak isn’t perturbed. In an interview with HPCwire, he acknowledged delays and hopes to get working chips to partners by the end of the year, with customers getting it sometime next year.

Picking the right processor for the job may soon be a simpler decision for many design engineers, even in high–performance computing (HPC), data analytics, 5G network processing, and artificial–intelligence and machine–learning operations. Rather than deciding to implement a CPU or GPU, a monolithic device may now be an option in the form of Prodigy, a universal processor developed by Tachyum. Prodigy combines the functionality of a CPU and GPU into a single architecture.

The “Prodigy” chipmaker said it had been accepted as an associated SME member of ETP4HPC, an industry-led non-profit association set up to drive the economic and societal benefits of HPC for European science and industry.

日前，矽谷創業晶片公司Tachyum公佈了一顆神奇的處理器「Prodigy」，號稱全球第一顆“通用處理器”(universal processor)，最多擁有128個核心，而且頻率高達5.7GHz，著實不可思議。現在，更多細節來了。

By partnering with private companies like Tachyum, KInIT aims to create a healthy research ecosystem that connects academia, private organizations, public sector and above all the international community.

如果要用一个单词来形容Tachyum的Prodigy（神童）处理器，那么一定是“insanity”（疯狂）。这款处理器最初在2018年亮相，现在距离发售又向前迈进了一步：公司已经罗列一些Prodigy SKU，其开始接受评估套件的预订。

IT之家6月13日消息，据tomshardware报道，当Tachyum在Hot Chips 18上推出其Prodigy通用处理器的概念时，它的芯片设计允许使用动态二进制转换器运行任何代码，这引起了轰动。它在执行本机代码和翻译代码时表现出了高性能。Tachyum公司花了一段时间来设计实际的硬件，接受评估套件的预订；该公司还披露了其Prodigy确切规格。它们看起来确实令人印象深刻，但每个芯片950W的散热设计功率（TDP）也令人恐惧

Tachyum公司花了一段时间来设计实际的硬件，接受评估套件的预订；该公司还披露了其Prodigy确切规格。它们看起来确实令人印象深刻，但每个芯片950W的散热设计功率（TDP）也令人恐惧。

Prodigy號稱全球第一顆通用處理器（Universal Processor），同一個晶元上可以執行CPU、GPU和TPU任務，可運行原生和x86、Arm和RISC-V二進位文件，與競爭產品相比，可以節省成本並提供高性能計算能力。

The startup is close to taping out its “universal” processor, branded Prodigy, which aims to deliver industry-leading performance on server, supercomputer, and AI workloads.

A very interesting generation of processors, even if they are aimed at the professional sector, because they confirm that there is much life beyond the classic x86 designs.

The Tachyum Prodigy T16128-AIX, which is the top-of-the-range processor within this new generation of high-performance Tachyum CPUs, can work without problem in configurations of two and four sockets, uses a totally customized architecture that is able to work without problem in x86, ARM and RISC-V environments, and also with FP64, FP32, TF32, BF16, INT8 and FP8 operations.

Startup Tachyum has reportedly created one of the most powerful processors in the world: the Prodigy T16128 general-purpose processor.

With 128 64-bit CPU cores running at up to 5.7GHz, 16 DDR5 memory controllers and 64 PCIe 5.0 lanes, the Prodigy T16128 can handle general-purpose computing, high-performance computing (HPC), and AI workloads, all on a single chip realized above.

Prodigy is known as the world’s first Universal Processor. CPU, GPU and TPU tasks can be performed on the same chip, and it can run native and x86, Arm and RISC-V binaries, providing cost savings and high performance computing power compared to competing products.

Tachyum Prodigy处理器采用的是自研架构，64位VLIW架构核心，顺序执行，但对编译器优化后也可做4路乱序执行。

每个核心有另两个1024-bit矢量单元、一个4096-bit矩阵单元、64KB一级指令缓存、64KB一级数据缓存、1MB二级缓存，而且闲置的二级缓存还可以给其他核心用作三级缓存。

日前，硅谷创业芯片公司Tachyum公布了一颗神奇的处理器“Prodigy”，号称全球第一颗“通用处理器”(universal processor)，最多拥有128个核心，而且频率高达5.7GHz，着实不可思议。

If there’s one word to describe Tachyum’s Prodigy CPUs which feature a universal processor design, that would be insanity. Initially announced all the way back in 2018, the CPUs are now nearing their launch as the company has listed several Prodigy SKUs and beginning to take pre-orders for evaluation kits.

When Tachyum unveiled the concept of its Prodigy Universal Processor at Hot Chips 18, it made quite a splash with a chip designed to run any code using a dynamic binary translator. It demonstrated high performance when executing both native and translated code.

“By joining UCIe and having Prodigy be part of its emerging chiplet ecosystem, we are creating a system that allows the mixing and matching of the best, proven components from multiple vendors to speed up adoption. We are excited to be among the UCIe members driving integration within the package.”

Tachyum plans to use the mature chip-to-chip technology for its Prodigy 2 processor at the 3nm level. Multi-die connectivity will play an essential role in both significantly increasing performance of Prodigy 2, as well as increasing the range of performance points and applications Prodigy 2 would be used for.

The AI revolution is creating a tsunami of change that is sweeping through virtually every sector of the economy, both public and private, and it’s having a profound impact on our daily lives.

The ticketing system also helps Tachyum’s developers monitor progress of Prodigy testing, identify what users need, and provide fast responses.

“It’s important that Tachyum takes an increasingly active role in ecosystems for next-generation computing, because the Prodigy Universal Processor will be the centerpiece of tomorrow’s supercomputing projects, AI/ML, hyperscale cloud, and other innovations,” said Dr. Radoslav Danilak, founder and CEO of Tachyum. “To a large extent we were driven to create Prodigy to address the runaway electrical power costs of running large data centers, AI, and high-performance computing requirements, and the OSFP is aligned with those goals too.”

With virtualization, Prodigy enables resource partitioning and management, device virtualization (e.g. shared USB port), and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) allowing a single VM to use two or more processors simultaneously. Tachyum additionally provides advanced security to hosted virtual machines. This latest advancement in KVM virtualization is in addition to Tachyum’s IOMMU and other hardware virtualization that is being proven in hardware.

“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.”

Tachyum was highlighted as one of the “Most Innovative Artificial Intelligence Solutions Providers to Watch” by The Enterprise World and earned the featured cover story with an in-depth discussion about the company, its leadership, vision of the industry and the AI attributes of its Prodigy™ universal processor.

Professor Thomas Lippert, director of JSC states: ‘It is one of our guiding principles to collaborate with innovative processor developers worldwide. Prodigy was designed to largely avoid silicon underutilisation, which is what makes the processor so attractive for energy-efficient simulations, data analytics and AI applications.’

Tachyum-powered supercomputers are poised to address some of the world’s most important and challenging problems, including a wide array of global health challenges, as well as the ability to provide real-time language translation from any language to any other language, making the world a true global village.

Under the MOU, BSC can evaluate the Tachyum Prodigy Processor and Tachyum reference architecture for future HPC infrastructure. The signing of the MoU follows Tachyum founder and CEO Dr. Radoslav Danilak’s visit to BSC in October last year.

“It is quite an honour to be recognized for my work in advancing RISC technology in general, and the ARM processor specifically, by the NAE in bestowing on me the prestigious Draper Prize for Engineering,” said Furber. “I believe that many of the advances we were able to make in forwarding this work are being carried on at innovative companies such as Tachyum, which is leveraging low-power, high-performance chips to enable human brain-scale AI to revolutionize the world.”

Tachyum’s ME expansion plans were launched in January at Expo 2020 Dubai where it presented its Prodigy Universal Processor for supercomputers. LEAP22 continues the company’s efforts to participate in the most important events in this region.

Tachyum will show the impact of its groundbreaking technology and potential solutions for industries such as oil and gas, telecommunications, finance, healthcare, and many others that address current global concerns in mobility, sustainability, global health, and climate change.

Processor starup Tachyum Inc. (Santa Clara, Calif.) has been selected by the Slovak Republic to participate in a submission to receive funding under Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI).

According to Europe 2020’s economic strategy, IT is one of the key drivers for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Its ability to transform the structures and dynamics of European society enables people to organize their lives and businesses in new ways, manage information and learn throughout their lives, and contribute to the pool of online knowledge. Because of the importance of these projects, pan-European research and innovation, like that in which Tachyum has been invited to participate, represent an advancement of common European interests.

Any way you slice it, the explosive growth in AI technology means that consumers, corporations and government agencies will soon be able to exploit highly advanced AI systems in order to create life experiences that we can only dream of today. Human brain-scale computing is now looming on the horizon, and it could change your life more than electricity.

Tachyum, in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic, will host the event featuring an in-depth discussion on the importance of AI and supercomputers, which will reach human brain-scale AI in 2022.

Tachyum participated in CEO Roundtable on Semiconductors organized by the European Commission. Founder and CEO of Tachyum, Dr. Radoslav Danilak, discussed semiconductor policies with leading companies and research organizations.
