The Slovak processor is the most powerful in the world. The performance of his AI is equal to the human brain – FonTech

About the unique Prodigy processor, which is manufactured by the Slovak company Tachyum and really has with it global plans to compete with both Intel and the giant Nvidia, we have written on FonTech several times.

He was first seen by the public in November last year, when he demonstrated his UEFI boot process and ran a Linux operating system on it. At the same time, however, the portal was already running at full speed, through which those interested in testing it could get to the Prodigy CPU so that they could run their applications on it. The motherboard was to be available in the first quarter of 2022.

He has now also appeared at the Dubai Expo

Tachyum has now also presented its long-awaited product, in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at the Expo 2020 global exhibition, which will certainly enable it to attract other potential customers from large companies and developers.

Slovaks claim that their processor should be “the most powerful in the world” and that its artificial intelligence is already approaching the level of the human brain. This information was heard during a discussion panel at EXPO 2020, where the company’s founder and CEO Radoslav Danilák spoke.

“We are proud that the Tachyum Prodigy processor, powered by a Slovak supercomputer with artificial intelligence at the level of the human brain, is the most powerful the world has ever seen. With a capacity of 64 exaflops that is several times more powerful than the most powerful that exist today, this supercomputer will solve the most complex challenges of humanity and help us move forward in all aspects of life. ” Danilák let himself be heard.

According to the company, his help should be felt especially by the economy and solutions for global security. The speed and sustainability of artificial intelligence calculations should help, for example, with faster drug discovery or the evaluation of weather and climate change forecasts. The new processor has to handle everything with much lower power consumption. There is also personalized medicine in the game for each patient “tailor-made”, which, however, will already depend on the software that researchers or private companies can run on the Prodigy processor.

Thanks to its unique features, high performance and especially significantly lower power consumption, the Prodigy processor will be able to save even the largest technology giants in the operation of data centers billions of dollars every year.

The expo has to help in different directions

Tachyum presented its processor with the help of our state institutions, but government officials from the United Arab Emirates and several companies dedicated to artificial intelligence were also invited – such as NXN, which provides consulting and digital services for smart cities, e-government and the like, the Slovak company informed. in the press release.

On the occasion of the thematic block focused on global goals, several presentations and panel discussions took place in the Slovak Pavilion on topics such as investing with impact, sustainable business practices or investing in sustainable assets, which dealt with innovative solutions to urgent societal problems.

“The aim of the panels was to take part in a discussion on how Slovakia can contribute to sustainable development. By introducing cutting-edge technologies such as Tachyum Prodigy, Slovakia ranks among the world’s leaders, bringing solutions that will streamline development in many areas, including medicine and sustainable development. As part of the program, 10 Slovak startups were also given space for the so – called “Elevator pitch”, in which the innovative startup must shortly introduce the audience in the Slovak pavilion, including potential investors“, said Miroslava Valovičová, General Commissioner of the Slovak exposition at Expo 2020 Dubai.

DO NOT OVERLOOK:
The world project is taking on contours. The revolutionary processor from Slovakia will be revealed to the public for the first time

Last year, Tachyum confirmed its commitment to use Prodigy and its know-how to develop the world’s fastest AI supercomputer at the National Supercomputer Center (NSCC) in Slovakia.

Tachyum is cooperating on the project with partners within the I4DI consortium – PosAm, Towercom, IPM Group, Seagate, World Wide Technologies (WWT), VNET, Sylex and InoCloud, as well as with the Slovak Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Investment, Regional Development and Informatization.

According to Danilák, such projects will be crucial for building a regional ecosystem of the knowledge economy in the field of digital infrastructure in Slovakia and Europe.
