## About Flow Computing

Flow Computing is a Finnish startup focused on enhancing CPU performance through its innovative Parallel Processing Unit (PPU) technology.

Founded in 2024 and based in Helsinki, the company emerged from stealth mode after securing approximately €4 million in pre-seed funding. Flow Computing is a spin-off from the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, utilizing extensive research in parallel computing architectures. The PPU is designed to work alongside existing CPUs, offering up to 100-fold performance acceleration for demanding applications while ensuring full backward software compatibility. Flow Computing also provides a versatile compiler ecosystem that optimizes performance for both new and legacy applications. The company operates on a licensing model, allowing chipmakers to integrate its PPU architecture into their designs. Target applications include artificial intelligence, cloud computing, autonomous vehicles, and multimedia processing. Flow Computing aims to manufacture its first physical chip and establish partnerships with major industry players in the near future.
