Flow Computing is making a tough to believe claim: it says it can 100x the performance of any CPU by shifting work to a special parallel processing unit inside or outside the chip. And, it claims, it can double the performance of any existing computing code overnight, even if programmers don’t lift a finger to optimize for its new tech. The PPU could even fit into phones and watches, it says, dramatically improving their performance and battery life by offloading work from the CPU.
Like Arm, which builds reusable IP blocks that it sells to major chipmakers, Flow hopes to sign deals with the likes of AMD, Apple, Intel, Nvidia, and Qualcomm to take it from here. At this point, Flow hasn’t validated its claims on genuine silicon but, rather, an FPGA board and some simulations while it works on a design for a PPU core and a compiler that it can license to other firms.
