About the Company:


Founded with the vision of building a runtime reconfigurable, future-proof processor, Morphing Machines is a fabless semiconductor company working on a ground-breaking technology that will transform the chip design landscape. Morphing Machines’ patent protected IP, REDEFINE, can concurrently accelerate heterogenous workloads, on a homogenous fabric of processing cores. REDEFINE combines ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) like performance with the reconfigurability of FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). Morphing Machines’ innovation enables dataflow compute, which is a paradigm shift in the current processor industry. Due to the nature of our architecture, we can cater across domains from Data Centers, Quantitative Finance, AI/ML acceleration, Edge Vision to High Performance Compute (HPC) applications, all with the same hardware fabric. At Morphing Machines, we are building a cutting-edge technology guided by our vision to build truly software-defined hardware.
