The Prodigy FPGA-Based Emulator by Tachyum offers a comprehensive platform for product evaluation, software development, and performance testing. This emulator is integral for verifying Prodigy's capabilities and compatibility with existing workflows. The system comes equipped with multiple FPGA and IO boards connected in a rack, facilitating the emulation of numerous processor cores. It includes both vector and matrix fixed and floating-point processing units, delivering a high degree of flexibility and functionality for those testing AI and HPC applications.
This emulator provides a practical testing ground that replicates real-world scenarios, allowing users to undertake detailed performance assessments and compatibility testing. Emulation systems are essential for transitioning projects from development to production stages. The setup also provides a versatile environment in which developers can debug and optimize code, ensuring that applications leverage the full potential of Tachyum's Prodigy architecture.
Although orders for Prodigy FPGA prototypes concluded in mid-2023, Tachyum offers private testing opportunities within its facilities, enabling new customers and partners to utilize this advanced emulation system. Shared usage dictates that these systems aren't suitable for handling classified or regulatory-bound data, but they remain a valuable resource for thorough, quality-controlled development processes.
