Scepticism is natural. I wonder …

Tachyum Delivers a Release Candidate of its Prodigy Software Distribution Package Supporting 4x256 Cores

"… The company’s software distribution package combines key advancements to deliver optimal performance for Prodigy. Notable updates to RC1 include the inclusion of GCC 14.2, Linux 6.12, LLVM 19, FreeBSD 14.1 and QEMU 9.11. …"

I found what's above after closing ancient tabs in Firefox. This was my starting point, a 2018 document:

I probably found myself there whilst weeding this tab from 2022: <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/twwrhi/tachyum_successfully_runs_freebsd_in_prodigy/> and, erm, <https://hc30.hotchips.org/index.html> was for Hot Chips 2018. The end

Tachyum's prodigy processor: een revolutionaire stap in computertechnologie https://www.trendingtech.news/trending-news/2024/12/50138/tachyum-s-prodigy-processor-een-revolutionaire-stap-in-computertechnologie #Tachyum #Prodigy Processor #AI computing #HPC technologie #chip ontwikkeling #Trending #News #Nieuws

1/100th of the cost: CPU startup #Tachyum claims that one of its processing units can rival dozens of #Nvidia H200 GPUs — with a 99% saving that could turn the #AI market on its head if true

The 192-core 5nm processor delivers 4.5 times the performance of the best processors for cloud workloads, can be up to three times better than GPUs for high-performance computing (HPC), and can be six times more effective than GPUs for AI applications.

50 Prozent mehr Kerne und Cache: Tachyum baut neue Luftschlösser in EDA-Tools https://www.computerbase.de/2023-08/50-prozent-mehr-kerne-und-cache-tachyum-baut-neue-luftschloesser-in-eda-tools/ #Tachyum #semiconductor

Este k tomu slovenskemu superpocitacu na baze #Tachyum:

"Z plánu obnovy je preň vyčlenených 70 miliónov…

Štátnemu rozpočtu by mohol za 10 rokov vyniesť pri konzervatívnom odhade KPMG vyše 200 miliónov eur…

Podľa Daniláka však zo štúdie uskutočniteľnosti… vyplýva odporúčanie, že štát by mal postaviť menej výkonný počítač"

IMHO pri tych desiatkach az stovkach milionov premrhanych na SK #eGov za ostatne dekady sa mi zda, ze su pri tych 70M€ akosi prilis opatrni.

Rozmyslam, ze ci by procesor Prodigy nebol rovnaky fail ako lietajuce auto.

Ale asi nie, lebo uplatnit kvalitny procesor je zrejme predsa len radovo lahsie nez zaviest do praxe lietajuce auto.

Tak uvidime, ako dopadne #Tachyum. A specificky, ako dopadne ten slovensky superpocitac.
