Flow Computing’s parallel processing unit (PPU) Flow Computing says that its PPU can help anyone who is looking to maximize performance, reduce infrastructure costs, and meet sustainability goals.

Finnish startup Flow Computing Oy today revealed seemingly outlandish plans to transform the chip industry with a new Parallel Processing Unit that it says can boost the performance of any central ...

Called a Parallel Processing Unit (PPU), the company claims the technology works by moving tasks into and out of the processor at speeds faster than has previously been possible.

It hopes to make these improvements by adding a parallel processing unit, which they call the “back end” to a more-or-less standard CPU, the “front end”.

Flow Computing is designing a parallel processing unit (PPU) to offload work from the CPU.

GTC demonstrated that the use of GPUs to tackle a diverse set of computational problems is expanding to the point that the acronym itself is an anachronism: parallel processing unit is far more ...

The chip technology it’s commercializing, which it has branded the Parallel Processing Unit, is the result of research performed at that lab (though VTT is an investor, the IP is owned by Flow).

Flow Computing is a startup that claims it can double the performance of any CPU by pairing it with a co-processor called a PPU (Parallel Processing Unit), or by as much as 100x with software updates.

The CPU controls the flow and hands workloads to the parallel unit. The CPU effectively executes the control flow, and the parallel unit executes the equivalent of data-place code. Source: Bryon Moyer ...
