Cambridge, UK - 17 February 2025 - Blueshift Memory, designer of a novel proprietary high-speed memory architecture, has been awarded a prestigious UK-Taiwan Bilateral collaborative analysis and improvement (CR&D) Grant by Innovate UK, with a project worth within the UK of £1.2 million. Beneath the grant, Blueshift Memory will work with AP Memory and Syntronix to develop next-generation 3D high bandwidth memory chips integrating Blueshift Memory’s innovative memory architecture (the Cambridge Architecture™). An additional NT$sixty five million (£1.57 million) is being invested in Taiwan, jointly by the Division of Industrial Know-how (DoIT) and from personal matched funding. The 30-month challenge, led by Blueshift Memory, is entitled "New excessive efficiency computer architecture implementation in high bandwidth memory and hook up with AI and information-intensive applications". The undertaking will involve Blueshift Memory working in collaboration with the 2 Taiwanese manufacturers to develop a new version of AP Memory’s very excessive bandwidth memory (VHM™), integrating Blueshift Memory’s IP.

This newest Innovate UK grant follows on from Blueshift Memory’s profitable Sensible grant mission, underneath which it developed a subsequent-era computer vision (CV) software on edge units for the Internet of Things (IoT), primarily based around the Cambridge Architecture. "AP Memory is dedicated to driving innovation in IoT and AI, and establishing international partnerships is an important a part of our strategy to deliver reducing-edge, competitive merchandise," mentioned Wen Chen, CTO at AP Memory. "We are very excited about working with AP Memory and Syntronix on this challenge," stated Helen Duncan, CEO of Blueshift Memory. "Having already validated the performance of our structure in FPGA, this partnership will permit us to show its potential in silicon in 2026 and will advance our roadmap by at least two years. We are grateful to the continuing help of Innovate UK, who co-funded the initial improvement of our demonstrator, as well as our participation in two Global Enterprise Innovation Programme (GBIP) missions to Taiwan.

Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation company, works in partnership with Taiwan’s DoIT to co-fund these collaborative analysis and development (CR&D) initiatives, centered on industrial research. The Innovate UK factor of the funding is made by means of the Worldwide Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF). "We congratulate Blueshift Memory on being awarded this bilateral grant, as one in every of solely nine profitable joint tasks to the very aggressive funding name," stated David Campbell-Molloy, Partnership Supervisor - Asia at Innovate UK. "Blueshift Memory’s proposal ticked all the precise bins, by exploiting both the UK’s experience in semiconductor design IP and Taiwan’s position as the global leader in high-performance silicon chip manufacturing. Blueshift Memory’s proprietary chip design optimizes the memory structure for extra environment friendly dealing with of massive knowledge sets and time-crucial knowledge, enabling up to 1,000 occasions sooner Memory Wave System access for specific information-centered purposes. These embrace high performance computing, artificial intelligence (AI), pc vision for augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), 5G/6G edge connectivity and the Web of Issues (IoT).

The focus of Blueshift Memory’s technology is the Cambridge Architecture™, the following-technology technology for saved-program machines, designed to exchange the at present-used modified Harvard architecture and to overcome the standard constraints of the von Neumann bottleneck. Based in 2011 and listed on the Taiwan Inventory Trade (TWSE: 6531), AP Memory is a world, fabless semiconductor firm headquartered in Hsinchu, Taiwan. With over two many years of industry expertise, AP Memory supplies customized memory design and Memory Wave IP options that meet the numerous needs of our clients.
