Berzonic is pioneering a new era of semiconductor design. We're building non-Von Neumann, event-based dataflow processors that challenge the limits of conventional computing. Our approach aims for unprecedented power efficiency, scalability, and adaptability—enabling a future where performance knows no bounds.
Backed by a vision to continuously iterate, adapt, and improve, Berzonic seeks to vertically integrate the entire lifecycle—from design to fabrication—of modular computing elements. This approach will allow us to respond rapidly to evolving workloads, leverage cutting-edge optical interconnects, and push beyond the constraints that have defined computing for decades.
At Berzonic, we believe that the end of Moore's Law is not the end of progress. While it's clear that current architectures are reaching their limits, we're here to redefine what's possible. Our mission is to enable the next leap in computational performance and efficiency, empowering everyone to innovate, accelerate, and shape a smarter, more connected future.
Traditional processors run into physical and architectural ceilings. Our dataflow-based, asynchronous processors operate without a centralized clock and don't rely on a rigid instruction pipeline. Instead, code compiled to WebAssembly (WASM) translates into a graph of interconnected events that can be traversed by a network of compute modules. This allows infinite concurrency in principle, leading to improved energy efficiency, performance, and fault tolerance.
Incumbents in this space are either entrenched with decades of architecture-specific optimizations attempting to push performance while being unable to make smaller features on silicon wafers or they require expensive setups and specialized developers to program them. We leverage open standards, WASM/WASI compatibility, and cutting-edge optical interconnects to build a resilient, extensible ecosystem of compute blocks. Specialized modules—for tasks like machine learning, cryptography, or graph processing—can be integrated seamlessly, enabling a highly customizable and future-proof computing environment.
Our path forward involves incremental steps, each a milestone in turning our vision into reality.
Complete our implementation and simulate our event-based network on FPGA, verify correctness, and develop an initial WASM-to-Event compiler pass.
Build or purchase necessary equipment to fabricate our chips in-house, allowing rapid iteration and vertical integration. By simplifying patterns and relying on more accessible lithographic methods, we dramatically reduce initial capital requirements.
Scale the ecosystem with specialized modules (e.g., Matmul units), refine our WASM-based runtime, and continue to push toward a fully modular, event-driven future of computing.
