Tachyum today announced that it has added a Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) to its Prodigy FPGA emulation system, empowering customers and partners with the ability to address bottlenecks and better optimize Prodigy performance for all applications and workloads. The PMU is an essential tool for collecting information about performance bottlenecks. It offers the ability to record a wide range of events that encompass every aspect of the Prodigy Universal Processor without slowing down the application itself. Tools like perf then present this information after the application is finished, enabling the identification and characterization of performance bottlenecks that may exist in the processor core, full mesh interconnect fabric, memory, and I/O subsystems. Perf is a go-to instrument for everybody working on performance assessment and tuning under Linux. The PMU's wide range of performance counters - supported by both software C-model and FPGA - facilitates both system debugging and performance tuning.
Tachyum's PMU enables faster time to market by allowing customers and partners to quickly identify performance issues and rapidly converge to a solution for all phases of go-to-market, including evaluation, development and final production testing. It provides an invaluable tool suite for customers spanning a broad array of markets, including AI, HPC and cloud computing.
"As the Prodigy Universal Processor continues towards successful product release, it is important that we focus on performance measurement and optimization metrics to ensure it is fully tuned before going into initial production later this year," said Dr. Radoslav Danilak, founder and CEO of Tachyum. "In a production system, dozens of counters will be available to customer performance teams enabling them to achieve maximum efficiency with their applications running at scale within Prodigy equipped data centers."
As a Universal Processor offering industry-leading performance for all workloads, Prodigy-powered data center servers can seamlessly and dynamically switch between computational domains (such as AI/ML, HPC, and cloud) with a single homogeneous architecture. By eliminating the need for expensive dedicated AI hardware and dramatically increasing server utilization, Prodigy reduces CAPEX and OPEX significantly while delivering unprecedented data center performance, power, and economics. Prodigy integrates 192 high-performance custom-designed 64-bit compute cores, to deliver up to 4.5x the performance of the highest-performing x86 processors for cloud workloads, up to 3x that of the highest performing GPU for HPC, and 6x for AI applications.
In the next few weeks, Tachyum's engineers will focus on bringing error detection and correction capabilities to the Prodigy FPGA to enable server-class RAS (reliability, availability and serviceability) features that exceed other server processors.
