Move Computing emerges with licensable, on-die parallel processing

Move Computing Oy, the pioneer in licensing on-die ultra-high-performance parallel computing options to CPU distributors of all architectures, has emerged from stealth with an announcement of a complete €4 million in pre-seed funding from a number of Nordic VC’s and enterprise entities.
 
Able to being built-in into any CPU design structure, instruction set or course of geometry, Move supplies a revolutionary 100-fold acceleration that’s instantly usable in normal Von Neumann-based laptop designs to allow “CPU 2.0”-levels of throughput. Move additionally eliminates the necessity for costly GPU acceleration of CPU directions in performant purposes. 
 
Move’s groundbreaking new structure, known as a Parallel Processing Unit (PPU), boosts the CPU efficiency as much as 100-fold via PPU built-in on-die via a license from Move. The PPU is totally backwards suitable with each present software program utility for that CPU structure – present parallel performance in all present software program and purposes might be tremendously accelerated by recompilation for the PPU with none software program adjustments required.
 
The extra PPU cores built-in on-die, the upper the efficiency enhance that can be subsequently gained and Move has optimized licenses for each main tier of CPU market utility – cellular, PC and supercomputer. Move’s expertise can also be complementary in nature to the whole lot of the machine motherboard in addition to any peripheral boards – whereas it boosts the CPU, all different related items (equivalent to matrix items, vector items, NPUs and GPUs) holistically profit from the efficiency of PPU and get a serious enhance from the now far-more-capable CPU.
 
Move is already in preliminary discussions with main semiconductor distributors from world wide searching for the “Holy Grail” of next-generation CPU efficiency – extra technical particulars can be publicly shared through the second half of 2024.

Collaborating entities in Move’s pre-seed spherical embrace Butterfly Ventures (lead VC), FOV Ventures, Sarsia, Stephen Industries, Superhero Capital and Enterprise Finland. As a spinout from the acclaimed VTT Technical Analysis Middle of Finland, VTT maintains an fairness stake in Move Computing and all of the patented IP developed over a number of years throughout this era has been formally transferred to Move.

“We firmly imagine there have been solely incremental enhancements in CPU efficiency throughout the previous couple of a long time – in our opinion, this has led to a state of affairs the place the CPU has really change into the weakest hyperlink in computing on account of its sub-optimal sequential structure,” mentioned Timo Valtonen, co-founder and CEO of Move Computing. 

“A brand new period in CPU efficiency has change into a necessity with the intention to meet the repeatedly growing demand for extra computing efficiency, pushed to massive extent by wants in AI, in addition to edge and cloud computing. Move intends to steer the SuperCPU revolution via its radical new Parallel Efficiency Unit (PPU) structure, enabling as much as 100X the efficiency of any CPU, no matter structure and with full backwards software program compatibility.”

Antti Vasara, CEO of VTT, mentioned: “At VTT we’re excited by the technical improvements of Move Computing as Finland strikes to change into a world-leading exporter of cutting-edge semiconductor designs. They’re offering an entire efficiency ecosystem to not solely the CPU distributors, however the improvement communities which have coalesced round main CPU designs equivalent to X86, Apple M-Sequence, Exynos, ARM and RISC-V. We’re excited that Move’s expertise which has been developed at VTT is ready to contribute in a big technique to the not simply to Finnish and European computing ecosystem, however in the way forward for the entire computing business!” 

Juho Risku, Associate and co-founder of Butterfly Ventures, added: “Each business in tech continues to undergo on account of the truth that the speed of CPU enhancements has slowed over the past decade. Move is the primary main departure from this pattern, providing multiples of efficiency as an alternative of some proportion factors and, in our opinion, Move could have a broader impression on the baseline efficiency of the computing market than for instance quantum computing on this decade. 

“Regardless of the massive investments in AI, common objective computing will dominate its price and constrain its functionality. Move Computing  is fixing this downside by enabling the subsequent era of SuperCPUs to simply surpass present business leaders such because the Apple M-series, Nvidia Grace, AMD Zen 5, Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite X, Intel Lunar Lake, Arm Cortex X, Google Axion and Microsoft Azure Cobalt 100.”
