Tachyum Is Testing Open Sourcing of Prodigy Software Through Git

Business Wire
Tachyum® today announced that it is testing Git access to
Tachyum software repositories. 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.
Git is an open-source distributed version control system
designed to track modifications in source code during software
development. 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.
Tachyum’s complete software distribution package, which is
currently in its alpha stage, continues to receive significant
updates. The Tachyum Software Distribution package is scheduled to
enter the beta stage in the coming months, which will be available
to early adopters and testers. This process ensures that Tachyum’s
ported software has been tested in real-world scenarios and ensures
that the ported software is capable of handling actual customer use
cases.
Until Tachyum OSS is upstream, the company will maintain Git
repositories for public access, initially for its close partners.
Currently, only the most recent version will be available. After
production release, Tachyum will maintain multiple software
versions. As part of the testing process, Tachyum will donate
hardware to the OSS community for expanded evaluation
opportunities.
"This latest news re-affirms Tachyum’s commitment to open-source
software development and maintenance," said Dr. Radoslav Danilak,
founder and CEO of Tachyum. “As Tachyum prepares for tape-out, we
will continue to add and test a variety of supporting
infrastructure, like Git access, ahead of time so that we are able
to unleash the full potential of the Tachyum Prodigy Universal
Processor from day one with a rich ecosystem of applications,
system software and frameworks and libraries that are ported to run
natively on Prodigy.”
As a Universal Processor offering industry-leading performance
for all workloads, Prodigy-powered data center servers can
seamlessly and dynamically switch between computational domains
(such as AI/ML, HPC, and cloud) with a single homogeneous
architecture. By eliminating the need for expensive dedicated AI
hardware and dramatically increasing server utilization, Prodigy
reduces CAPEX and OPEX significantly while delivering unprecedented
data center performance, power, and economics. Prodigy integrates
192 high-performance custom-designed 64-bit compute cores, to
deliver up to 4.5x the performance of the highest-performing x86
processors for cloud workloads, up to 3x that of the highest
performing GPU for HPC, and 6x for AI applications.

About Tachyum
Tachyum is transforming the economics of AI, HPC, public and
private cloud workloads with Prodigy, the world’s first Universal
Processor. Prodigy unifies the functionality of a CPU, a GPU, and a
TPU in a single processor to deliver industry-leading performance,
cost and power efficiency for both specialty and general-purpose
computing. As global data center emissions continue to contribute
to a changing climate, with projections of their consuming 10
percent of the world’s electricity by 2030, the ultra-low power
Prodigy is positioned to help balance the world’s appetite for
computing at a lower environmental cost. Tachyum recently received
a major purchase order from a US company to build a large-scale
system that can deliver more than 50 exaflops performance, which
will exponentially exceed the computational capabilities of the
fastest inference or generative AI supercomputers available
anywhere in the world today. When complete in 2025, the
Prodigy-powered system will deliver a 25x multiplier vs. the
world’s fastest conventional supercomputer – built just this year –
and will achieve AI capabilities 25,000x larger than models for
ChatGPT4. Tachyum has offices in the United States and Slovakia.
