VyperCore launches cloud platform showcasing processors

VyperCore has announced the launch of VyperLab, a cloud-based evaluation platform designed to demonstrate its high-performance processor technology.

VyperLab enables Lead Partners to explore VyperCore's hardware accelerator innovation, which promises substantial energy savings and enhanced performance for server applications in next-generation data centres. This technology is particularly relevant to large-scale web enterprises, high-volume data analytics, bioinformatics, and compute-intensive application processing.

The processor technology by VyperCore aims to reduce data centre CPU energy consumption by up to 80% while delivering a fivefold increase in performance within a hardware-protected, memory-safe environment. This advancement can accelerate deployed software without the need for code modifications, heralding a potential shift towards more efficient performance, cost savings, and environmentally sustainable technology.

A key feature of VyperCore's technology is hardware-enforced memory safety, developed following Secure by Design principles. This architectural approach is designed to eliminate the impact of memory safety vulnerabilities, which have accounted for a significant proportion of cybersecurity issues over the past two decades, all without affecting performance, silicon area, or power efficiency.

VyperLab incorporates a comprehensive range of capabilities, such as the evaluation of target acceleration for existing production application code, in-cloud demonstrations of VyperCore's hardware memory safety capabilities, architectural collaboration for further acceleration gains, and a cloud-hosted platform ensuring partner code and data confidentiality.

Russell Haggar, CEO of VyperCore, remarked: "The VyperCore technology has generated immense excitement due to its potential to revolutionise our industry. Our partners will love the 5x acceleration and the planet will love the lower power consumption and CO2 emissions." He continued, "Consumers will love that our memory safe solutions deliver a safer internet with fewer IT meltdowns and greatly enhanced cybersecurity."

Kevin Crain, an industry expert and former CTO of Intel Ignite London, expressed admiration for VyperCore's progress since participating in the Intel Ignite London programme. "They now have a fully demonstrable system that allows customers to experience the substantial energy savings and five-fold acceleration in future production hardware. I am looking forward to seeing this technology expand across the industry," said Crain.

John Goodacre, UKRI's Director of Digital Security by Design, commented: "It is great to see VyperCore embrace Secure by Design principles - eliminating memory safety vulnerabilities through a hardware-enforced, secured accelerator design. This approach aligns perfectly with the Digital Security by Design philosophy of designing in security at the foundations to block the exploitation of memory safety vulnerabilities." He further noted: "This promises organisations access to both potential substantial performance improvement while also delivering increased resilience against cyber-attacks."

VyperLab is available through an early access programme for Lead Partners, who can run existing production code on a secure cloud instance, employing VyperCore's prototype Booth processor core. The platform provides a detailed analysis of application execution, highlighting acceleration prospects and enabling collaboration to guide VyperCore product development.

VyperCore is extending invitations to qualified customers to join its Lead Partner programme, showcasing its commitment to pioneering advancements in processor technology that harmonise enhanced performance with energy efficiency and security.
