NextSilicon Unveils Maverick-2 Dataflow Engine
After eight years and $303 million in funding, NextSilicon is introducing its 64-bit dataflow engine, Maverick-2.
The company is also unveiling a RISC-V processor, Arbel, to create "superchip" host-accelerator combinations.
Sandia National Laboratory, which helped develop the Maverick-1 proof of concept, is likely to be the first to deploy a production Maverick-2 system.
representing a true novel architecture that will be appealing to the HPC centers of the world, who still care very much about 64-bit floating point computing.Author's summary: NextSilicon launches Maverick-2 dataflow engine.
