3 days agoNextSilicon eyes HPC market with Maverick-2 accelerators
Researchers and engineers working in particle physics, materials analysis, or drug discovery haven't exactly been spoiled for choice when it comes to chips capable of the highly precise double-precision calculations that these workloads depend. NextSilicon aims to change that with Maverick-2, a chip aimed not at AI but the high-performance computing (HPC) community. This week, the chip startup offered the best look yet at how its dataflow accelerators - now deployed by several customers, including Sandia National labs - hold up in the wild,
