Flow Computing develops a companion Parallel Processing Unit (PPU) chip that sits alongside a CPU to orchestrate nanosecond-scale task movement, aiming to turn serial CPU execution into a more parallelized flow. The company says the PPU can double CPU performance instantly and—with refactoring or recompilation—yield increases up to 100x on some workloads. Flow has demonstrated the technology in FPGA-based test setups and is developing recompilation tools to help software makers optimize for PPU-enabled designs. The PPU must be integrated at the chip-design level, so the first commercial parts will require chipmaker adoption rather than retroactive deployment. Flow is a spinout of Finland’s state-backed research organization VTT; the IP is owned by Flow. The company emerged from stealth after raising €4 million in pre-seed funding.
