•Vorticity is building the world’s first Scientific Processing Unit (SPU), a new class of silicon purpose-built to accelerate scientific computing beyond the limits of GPUs.
•We are designing tightly coupled software–hardware systems around applied mathematics workloads to deliver order-of-magnitude performance gains.
•Unlocking its full potential requires early, deep engagement from applied mathematics–driven software engineers who can translate real-world scientific workloads into executable models, kernels, libraries, and applications that inform both architecture and tooling decisions.
