The era of CPU 2.0 is coming! 100 times more CPU performance

Recently, Finnish start-up Flow Computing announced a revolutionary technological breakthrough: its parallel processing unit (PPU) can improve the performance of any CPU architecture up to 100 times.

Flow Computing said that PPU is an IP module that can be integrated into existing or future CPU designs. This technology not only provides disruptive acceleration capability, but also can be immediately applied to standard computer design based on von Neumann architecture, and achieve the so-called "CPU 2.0" level throughput. In addition, by integrating PPUs, users no longer need to rely on expensive GPUs to accelerate high-performance applications.

The PPU technology of Flow Computing has three core advantages. First, it can improve the CPU performance to an unprecedented level, while maintaining the traditional Software It is fully backward compatible with the application program and opens the era of SuperCPU. Secondly, the technology can improve the speed of traditional software and applications by twice without changing the original applications. Finally, the parametric design provided by Flow Computing allows extensive customization to meet the needs of different scenarios.

The PPU of Flow Computing has greatly improved the performance by solving the challenges of CPU in latency, synchronization and virtual level parallelism; At the same time, the execution efficiency of CPU is significantly improved through latency hiding, synchronization optimization and virtual ILP/LLP. In addition, the PPU of Flow Computing can also improve the performance of existing software and applications. By automatically identifying the parallel parts of code and executing these parts in the PPU kernel, the running speed of existing code can be doubled.

At present, Flow Computing has held preliminary discussions with major semiconductor suppliers worldwide, and plans to share more technical details in the second half of 2024. The company recently completed a seed round financing of 4 million euros to support the further development and commercialization of its PPU technology.
