3 months ago LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Tachyum ™ Inc. celebrates another year of milestones for the company and its Prodigy Universal Processor development, including several demonstrations, design achievements, and other proof-of-product successes. Its progress in 2020 has positioned Prodigy for volume manufacturing and worldwide commercial distribution in 2021. Its most significant accomplishment on the path to market-readiness was the recent release of a fully functional FPGA chip prototype, the last step before tape-out when final design specs are submitted for fabrication. Tachyum will have 98 percent of the complete Prodigy chip layout, the verified detailed physical design of the silicon area, by December 31. Throughout the year Tachyum proved Prodigy’s capabilities in demonstrations such as software emulation testing across x86, ARM and RISC-V binary environments, running a web server application on Prodigy using a mix of x86 and its native code, and validating critical tools like Apache. To further show Prodigy users can deploy a broad spectrum of applications out of the box, Tachyum demonstrated its AI software stack in August, resulting in speeds over 2X faster than other solutions. Testing and verification is ongoing, with longer and longer random tests. Achieved whole path roundtrip from I$/D$ miss, L2$ miss, directory, mesh, DRAM controller, DDR5 DIMMS, back to core with correct data.
