VyperCore develops processor designs that accelerate existing compute workloads without requiring application rewrites by defining an object-based view of memory inside the core. Its technology aims to both boost data‑centre compute performance and block memory‑oriented attack vectors such as memory leaks and buffer overflows. The company’s first‑generation hardware will be RISC‑V based and is intended for sampling with partners in an Early Access Program in Q3 2024. VyperCore plans to use its newly raised funds to open design centres in Cambridge and Bristol and to develop its first generation of accelerated compute silicon. The startup raised £4M in a Seed funding round and lists Octopus Ventures, Foresight WAE Technology, Science Creates Ventures, British Growth Fund and Silicon Roundabout Ventures as backers. VyperCore was founded in 2022 by Ed Nutting and Russell Haggar and is based on University of Bristol research into CPU acceleration.
