Hello, performance 2.0.
Hello, Parallel Processing Unit.
For decades, CPU progress was incremental, leading to the computing performance bottleneck of today. Yet the demand for greater processing power, fuelled by advancements in AI, edge computing, and cloud technologies, has never been more urgent.
Breaking through the bottleneck is Flow Computing’s Parallel Performance Unit (PPU) architecture: a truly groundbreaking enhancement that delivers significant performance boosts to any CPU in any architecture. Fully backwards compatible, Flow's technology even doubles the performance of most legacy applications after recompiling.
Flow’s PPU architecture not only meets but exceeds today’s demand for speed and efficiency, ushering in a new era of CPUs.
Next gen CPU performance is here
Flow Computing delivers next-generation performance for the most demanding applications, from locally-hosted AI to general-purpose parallel computing.
Capable integration into any current or pending design architecture or process geometry, Flow provides significant acceleration, immediately usable in any future CPU. Flow ushers in the next era of CPU throughput, eliminating the need for expensive GPU acceleration of CPU instructions.
The dramatic performance increase is driven by our patented Parallel Processing Unit architecture and versatile compiler ecosystem. Together they allow developers to balance the raw performance needed for new applications with the need for compatibility with legacy code.
Beyond individual devices, Flow’s innovative architecture significantly enhances the capabilities of embedded systems and data centers. It finds applications across a range of settings, including edge and cloud computing, AI clouds, multimedia processing over 5G/6G networks, autonomous vehicle systems, and military-grade computing, setting a new benchmark for CPU performance.
