Flow Computing

September was a journey for us: stages, deep tech conversations across Europe, and our next chapter in Silicon Valley.

At Nordic Chip Summit in Espoo, our CEO & Co-Founder Timo Valtonen took the stage to discuss AI factories, their efficiency and economics, and why keeping each compute engine focused on the work it handles best becomes increasingly important at scale.

At ScalPerf'26 in Bertinoro, our Co-Founder, CTO & Chief Architect Dr. Martti Forsell presented the Flow Parallel Processing Unit® architecture and selected parallel algorithms, covering methodological alternatives, optimization possibilities, and early performance and migration results.
Before heading home, Martti also made a stop in Torino for an in-person working session with Flow CPU Modeling Engineers Andrea Coluccio and Emanuele Lovino.

Back in Espoo, Timo joined Nordeep - 5th Anniversary Edition, connecting with founders, investors and industry leaders from across the Nordic deep tech ecosystem.

And now, the journey continues in the US. 🇺🇸
We joined the Nordic Innovation House - Silicon Valley strengthening our connections across the Nordic and US innovation ecosystems. Timo will spend October - mid-November in the US, meeting with partners, investors and others across the industry.

As a busy September comes to a close, we’re looking ahead to an equally exciting autumn.

Hot Chips 2026 mini series 🔥
Part 2: Intel Wildcat Lake

Different workloads need different compute.
At Hot Chips 2026, Intel’s Wildcat Lake showed how CPU, GPU and NPU can work together, each taking on the work it’s best suited for.

That same idea is central to how we think about CPU evolution at Flow: not replacing the CPU, but adding complementary capabilities alongside it.

Stay tuned for Part 3.

Thank you to Lance Hacking, Intel and Hot Chips Symposium for the presentation and Q&A.

Hot Chips 2026 mini series starts now. 🔥
Part 1: IBM.

At Hot Chips, IBM Distinguished Engineer Dr. Christian Zoellin presented a processor supporting both IBM Z and Arm architectures.

So what does that tell us about where CPU architecture is heading?
Our takeaway: CPU + the right architecture for the workload.

We explore IBM’s approach, and where Flow PPU fits into this increasingly heterogeneous future.

Dr. Martti Forsell will be at ScalPerf ’26, Fondazione Ce.U.B - Centro Universitario di Bertinoro, Bertinoro, Italy, where he’ll present “Flow Parallel Processing Unit® architecture and selected algorithms” and share more about Flow’s approach to parallel computing.

Meanwhile, Timo Valtonen will be at Nordeep - 5th Anniversary Edition, Dipoli, Aalto University, Espoo, FI, connecting with investors, founders and the wider deep-tech ecosystem.

Next week, we’re heading to Nordic Chip Summit 2026. 🇫🇮

Our CEO & Co-Founder Timo Valtonen will join the AI, connectivity and energy efficiency session, exploring the current state and future direction of AI and AI chips.

Timo will bring a disruptive view on AI factory economics and energy efficiency, looking at the role CPU performance can play as AI infrastructure continues to scale.

He’ll be joined by Tero Kola, VP of RAN System Product Management at Nokia, and Mika Soikkeli, Senior Scientist at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.

Heading to Nordic Chip Summit? Come join the discussion.

Hot Chips 2026 may be over, but the conversation isn’t. 👀
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be taking a closer look at some of the CPU presentations from this year’s Hot Chips Symposium + sharing our perspective on what they tell us about where CPU architecture and performance are heading.

We’ll explore the ideas that caught our attention, why they matter, and where they connect with the challenges we're working to solve.

First up: coming soon.
In the meantime, take a look at the Flow PPU poster we shared at Hot Chips 2026: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0x-l4t0

That’s a wrap of the HOT CHIPS Symposium!

We’ve been in the US for nearly 2 weeks meeting with people from across the industry. We've been exchanging ideas, and talking about the future of CPU performance.

Hot Chips was one of the many highlights of this trip. A huge thank you to everyone who to talk with us, came to see our poster, or took the time to meet with us, and to Fudo for being part of the journey with us.

We’ve had some great conversations, and we’re looking forward to more before we head back home.

Thank you, Hot Chips, and thank you to everyone who made our time here worthwhile.🦾
