After eight years and $303 million in funding, NextSilicon is releasing its 64-bit dataflow engine, Maverick-2.
The company is also unveiling a RISC-V processor, Arbel, to create "superchip" combinations, appealing to HPC centers.
- Maverick-2 is a novel architecture for 64-bit floating point computing.
- Sandia National Laboratory, which assisted with Maverick-1 development, will likely 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.
