Speed is the superpower of computing. Our Parallel Processing Unit (PPU) gives CPUs a significant performance boost.

About us

Flow Computing enables the next generation of CPU performance for the most demanding applications, such as locally-hosted AI and general-purpose parallel computing. We in Flow believe there has been only incremental improvements in CPU performance during recent decades. In our opinion, it has led to a situation where the CPU has actually become the weakest link in computing due to its suboptimal sequential architecture. A new era in CPU performance has become a necessity in order to meet the continuously-increasing demand for more computing performance (driven to large extent by needs in AI, edge and cloud computing). Flow intends to enable this revolution through its Parallel Performance Unit (Flow PPU), significant performance to any CPU, regardless of architecture. Our technology has full backwards software compatibility and it gives 2x performance improvement to most legacy applications after recompilation. Capable of being integrated into any current or pending design architecture or process geometry, our licensable Flow PPU turbocharges the current CPUs to enabling “CPU 2.0”-levels of throughput and eliminating the need for expensive GPU acceleration of CPU instructions.

  • Winner of the High-Performance Computing track at DTM100. Top 7 out of 5,000+ startups. Our CEO & Co-Founder, Timo Valtonen represented Flow at Deep Tech Momentumin the in the DTM100 pitch competition. We advanced to the finals and were recognized as the High-Performance Computing track winner. Across sectors, these challenges surfaced repeatedly: - Compute infrastructure - CPU bottlenecks - Parallel performance Compute demands are growing. Efficient performance is critical. Flow PPU solves this challenge. Thank you to the Deep Tech Momentum team, judges, investors, founders, and everyone we met in Berlin.

  • Modern processor architectures often struggle with scalability, synchronization overhead, and inefficient resource utilization as parallel workloads become more demanding. Our architecture is designed differently. Flow PPU uses a scalable multi-fibered multicore architecture designed to: -Adjust parallelism according to the needs of the algorithm -Improve memory access scalability and bandwidth utilization -Minimize synchronization costs -Split common and data-parallel execution into architectural entities optimized for their designated use In Flow’s hybrid architecture, the CPU handles sequential execution and control flow, while Flow PPU handles execution of individual fibers independently of their number.

  • Earlier this month, team Flow gathered in Cossombrato, Italy for a focused face-to-face week filled with technical collaboration, planning sessions, long discussions, and plenty of espresso along the way. As a fast-growing deep-tech team, these in-person weeks are an important opportunity to align on priorities, exchange ideas, solve problems together, and build momentum for the months ahead. Alongside the work sessions, the team also explored Alba and Asti, shared meals together, and enjoyed conversations that are hard to replicate over video calls. The future of computing is built through collaboration ...and sometimes over pasta in Piedmont.

  • Traditional processor architectures often force a compromise between low-latency sequential execution and high-throughput parallel execution. Our approach separates these responsibilities into two tightly coupled architectural components: 1. The CPU for sequential execution and legacy code 2. Flow PPU for scalable parallel execution Both operate within a unified memory system designed to simplify co-processing and reduce synchronization overhead. This hybrid architecture makes it possible to scale parallel performance independently while remaining compatible with existing and future CPU architectures.

    • Diagram illustrating Flow Computing’s hybrid CPU and Flow PPU architecture. On the left, a traditional multicore CPU based on Arm, Power, RISC-V, or x86 architectures is optimized for low-latency SMP/NUMA execution. On the right, the Flow Parallel Processing Unit (Flow PPU) is optimized for high-throughput parallel execution using an Emulated Shared Memory (ESM) architecture. Arrows between the CPU, Flow PPU, and external shared memory system represent tightly coupled co-processing and shared memory access.
  • Compute architecture → digital infrastructure → growth That’s the full-stack conversation happening at Chips from the Very North in Oulu. Jussi Roivainen and Dr. Martti Forsell will be there, connecting with leaders across the semiconductor value chain. Increasing computing power today requires rethinking how CPUs execute parallel workloads at the architecture level, not just adding more cores. We're bringing scalable parallel processing CPUs.
