A New Generation of Computing Architecture designed for Big Data Analytics & AI
Fermat is a software and hardware company developing a high-performance computation solution. Fermat’s solution rethinks the traditional Von Neumann approach in designing its platform. The company has designed a patent pending Data-Aware Architecture for high performance computation and data management/storage. Fermat’s hardware platform is completed by its software platform. This is a full software stack that comprises of:
• Firmware which manages and orchestrates access within a Fermat Hardware Module
• Host software that presents a low friction API for using one or more Fermat Modules within a host system
• An Emulator that allow developers test their code in the absence of the physical Fermat Module
• Libraries of pre-compiled, FPGA-based algorithms
