About NextSilicon
NextSilicon is an Israeli company that builds Maverick-2, an accelerator for scientific computing and AI. Rather than running instructions in a fixed order like a CPU, it uses a dataflow design in which the chip reshapes itself around the busiest parts of a running program. The company calls this an Intelligent Compute Architecture and says existing code runs without rewriting. Maverick-2 is built on TSMC's 5 nanometre process and offered as a PCIe card or an OAM module. Sandia National Laboratories collaborated on testing the earlier Maverick-1. NextSilicon was founded in 2017 and is based in Givatayim, Israel.
NextSilicon was founded in 2017 and is based in Givatayim, Israel. It is listed under AI Accelerators. Reported funding is $200M+, $1.6B valuation.
