Vybium develops European AI/ML accelerators incorporating the Stream Computing NPU IP

The STCP920, shipping since in 2021, incorporates the Stream Computing NPU IP and rivals the Nvidia A10 in performance.
Vybium is a fabless semiconductor startup still operating in stealth mode. It is building RISC-V-based solutions for European Digital Strategic Autonomy. Founded by VRULL (Austria) and Software Ecosystem Solutions (Albania), Vybium develops AI-accelerated solutions based on the RISC-V ISA for all verticals.
To accelerate its go-to-market, Vybium prioritises developing industry-leading AI/ML solutions with rich end-to-end software support. To quickly address this market with best-in-class performance, Vybium has licensed the NPU IP from Stream Computing and innovated on it by adding new data types, support for sparsity, and higher-bandwidth memory solutions to the integrated solution.
"Vybium has always been about delivering European-developed products that embody the European perspective: providing end-to-end solutions based on RISC-V that address the needs of European industrial companies. The rapid growth of AI/ML across all applications has changed customer priorities. We are addressing these on a timely basis based on the production-proven NPU IP from Stream Computing.", explains Dr. Philipp Tomsich.
"Empowering Vybium to develop their own silicon by incorporating and innovating on our production-proven NPU IP accelerates the roadmap to European AI/ML accelerators competing with Nvidia. Having a shared technology provides a broader base to support common, open-source software enablement. This is a true win-win. ", states Andy Mei, CEO of Stream Computing.
The first generation of Vybium productions will focus on AI/ML accelerator cards and are intended to compete with the Nvidia A100 family. Solutions combining RISC-V general-purpose compute with AI/ML for embedded, industrial, and edge use cases are expected to follow the initial designs targeted at AI/ML acceleration in the datacenter, cloud, and enterprise applications.
Vybium is set to be an alternative to industry leaders, leveraging the combined strengths of VRULL's software expertise and Stream Computing's advanced NPU IP. This strategic collaboration ensures that Vybium can deliver cutting-edge RISC-V AI/ML technologies with best-in-class performance. As it progresses, Vybium will play a pivotal role in advancing European semiconductor innovation, driving strategic digital independence, and providing robust solutions for industrial and enterprise applications across the continent and beyond.
