Calligo Technologies Pvt Ltd, an innovative tech company based in Bengaluru, India, has introduced the groundbreaking TUNGA, the world's first 8-core Posit-enabled RISC-V CPU in the form of an ASIC, representing a significant advancement in general-purpose computing. Driven by a commitment to enhancing computing performance, particularly in High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), Calligo has leveraged two disruptive technologies, RISC-V and Posits, to achieve this milestone. RISC-V is an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) for Processor designs, while Posit is a novel representation for real numbers, developed by renowned American Mathematician Dr. John Gustafson, offering innovation and cost-effective customization through modular design.

TUNGA is highly energy-efficient, resulting in lower power consumption and scalability that supports a wide range of HPC and AI applications. Its distinctive features position Calligo's accelerator Card to deliver superior computational performance and accuracy by integrating advanced hardware with robust software acceleration.

Mr. Anantha Kinnal, Co-founder & CEO of Calligo Technologies expressed the company's commitment to redefining computing standards and achieving zettascale operations by embracing RISC-V and Posits, enabling HPC applications to produce accurate results while consuming minimal power, benefiting various application areas such as GROMACS, FFT for 5G/6G, and image/video compression.

TUNGA, designed flawlessly by Calligo, combined with a Comprehensive Software Stack, enables effortless industry-wide adoption and allows end users to maximize efficiency and effectiveness by executing applications transparently without source code modifications.

The company's collaboration with National Laboratories and Supercomputing Centers around the world is instrumental in validating and benchmarking their solution, emphasizing deep domain expertise in Life Sciences, Automotive, Aerospace, and Media industries.

Funded under the Ministry of Information Technology's DLI scheme, Calligo's next version, MATUNGA, is a System-on-Chip designed to power self-booting motherboards, revolutionizing computing landscapes with its unmatched processing prowess. It is poised to be a cornerstone of technological advancement, positioning Calligo as a leader in the Indian technological landscape.
