1/ We're thrilled to announce that Fabric Cryptography has raised $33M in Series A funding to accelerate advanced cryptography workloads with our general purpose chip – the Verifiable Processing Unit (VPU).
Michael Gao, Co-founder & CEO closing out our event:
The intent for VPU Gen2 is to completely solve this trilemma for all of programmable cryptography.
Peter Nahas, Software Infrastructure Lead on Data Centers: Hardware availability drives adoption. Having a cloud helps us make our hardware available to anyone from individual cryptographers to small startups to full blockchains.
Ananth Jasty, VP of System Design: Emulation is tapeout before tapeout. It's key for engineering design and implementation validation because what you emulate is what you get in terms of functionality and performance.
Fred Rush, Director of Frontend Design on the architecture of the VPU from NOOP to SHA3_RND to our design team reacting quickly to implement additional instructions for our customers.
Our journey to tapeout: designing the board, work with vendors such as TSMC, signal integrity charts, thermal simulations to co-design the package, building a full software stack, etc.
During ETHDenver week our partners, investors, and friends came together for a live update on Fabric’s custom processor. If you missed it, here’s a quick recap!
