Kalray Announces the Tape-out of Coolidge on TSMC 16NM Process Technology
Summary
Numerous customers have identified the potential of our breakthrough solution and are eager to get the first samples of Coolidge™.” Coolidge has been designed to address the challenges and constraints of the new generation of intelligent systems: • Concurrent execution of many heterogeneous critical tasks in parallel on a single chip • Advanced security and safety mechanisms suitable for the most demanding systems, defined in collaboration with Kalray’s partners in the aerospace, defense and automotive fields Coolidge overcomes many limitations of alternative solutions. Its standard programmability and flexibility makes it an appealing choice versus FPGA, as requirements for updates in the field is growing and cost pressure is increasing. The ability to run simultaneously several real-time and compute-intensive heterogeneous applications on Coolidge within a low-power budget, brings a compelling advantage over solutions such as GPUs. The patented parallel architecture of Coolidge enables massive acceleration of many algorithms, low-latency protocols or Artificial Intelligence applications. Associating Coolidge with other multi-core processors provides the opportunity for system makers to massively improve performance and optimize their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
