Tachyum is working on native Linux distribution with many applications in time for the Prodigy launch in 2021. For convenience, Tachyum also provides the ability to transparently install and run legacy applications using a dynamic binary translator that converts x86, ARM or RISC-V code to Prodigy native ISA (Instruction Set Architecture). Despite software emulation on the Prodigy chip, the ARM and RISC-V binaries will run much faster on Tachyum Prodigy than on ARM or RISC-V available today. This is a testament to the raw brute force performance of the Prodigy processor.
Tachyum’s Prodigy can run HPC applications, convolution AI, explainable AI, general AI, bio AI and spiking neural networks, as well as normal data center workloads on a single homogeneous processor platform with its simple programming model. Using CPU, GPU, TPU and other accelerators in lieu of Prodigy for these different types of workloads is inefficient. A heterogeneous processing fabric, with unique hardware dedicated to each type of workload (e.g. data center, AI, HPC), results in underutilization of hardware resources, and a more challenging programming environment. Prodigy’s ability to seamlessly switch among these various workloads dramatically changes the competitive landscape and the economics of data centers.
Prodigy significantly improves computational performance, energy consumption, hardware (server) utilization and space requirements compared to existing chips provisioned in hyperscale data centers today. It will also allow Edge developers for IoT to exploit its low power / high performance, along with its simple programming model to deliver AI to the edge.
Prodigy is truly a universal processor. In addition to native Prodigy code, it also runs legacy x86, ARM and RISC-V binaries. And, with a single, highly-efficient processor architecture, Prodigy delivers industry-leading performance across data center, AI, and HPC workloads.
“Having a readily available solution and easy to use with massive amounts of software, demonstrates the foundation for success of a platform,” said Dr. Radoslav Danilak, Tachyum founder and CEO. “This demonstration of Prodigy’s ability to run software correctly – even legacy code from x86, ARM or RISC-V processors – shows that we will enable customers to seamlessly use the applications they are using today from Day One of Prodigy’s launch. This is another validation of viability for Prodigy and proof of its ability to unlock unprecedented performance, power efficiency and cost advantages across the most challenging computing environments.”
