VyperCore shows 5X performance boost

UK processor startup VyperCore has shown the first results from its VyperLab evaluation platform.
Using the Python community’s PyPerformance unmodified benchmark code, the RTL of a custom RISC-V processor has shown up to 5x performance gains on existing code without recompilation.
The company is already exploring technology collaborations with three of the industry’s leading processor vendors, says Russel Haggar, chief executive of VyperCore.
VyperLab was launched last month to let developers evaluate the architecture on RTL of a RISC-V processor running in the cloud without making any code changes. The workloads are run on VyperCore’s processor architecture and the performance is compared with its speed on a conventional unaccelerated processor platform. The technology can also be used with ARM and x86 architectures.
The 5x performance translates into significant reductions in energy consumption for a given volume of CPU computation.
VyperCore’s Booth processor family is initially be targeted at datacentre deployments, where it will supply silicon and accelerator hardware. Longer term, the underlying technology will enable CPUs of all architectures and sizes, whether at the network edge, in laptops and smartphones, or inside IoT devices, to deliver higher performance at lower energy consumption.
