Flow Computing® enables the next generation of CPU performance for the most demanding applications, such as locally-hosted AI and general-purpose parallel computing. We in Flow believe there has been only incremental improvements in CPU performance during recent decades. In our opinion, it has led to a situation where the CPU has actually become the weakest link in computing due to its suboptimal sequential architecture. A new era in CPU performance has become a necessity in order to meet the continuously-increasing demand for more computing performance (driven to large extent by needs in AI, edge and cloud computing). Flow intends to enable this revolution through its Parallel Performance Unit (Flow PPU), significant performance to any CPU, regardless of architecture. Our technology has full backwards software compatibility and it gives 2x performance improvement to most legacy applications after recompilation. Capable of being integrated into any current or pending design architecture or process geometry, our licensable Flow PPU turbocharges the current CPUs to enabling “CPU 2.0”-levels of throughput and eliminating the need for expensive GPU acceleration of CPU instructions.
