Company profile

Blueshift Memory

Cambridge fabless design company developing a proprietary memory access architecture intended to reduce data bottlenecks in AI, high-performance and edge computing, licensed alongside RISC-V processor cores.

Company overview

Developing memory architecture IP and processor technology, Blueshift Memory focuses on data-intensive computing and the communication bottleneck between processors and memory. Its Cambridge Architecture uses knowledge of data structures to organise memory access for large datasets and time-critical workloads. The technology is independent of the underlying memory cell technology and is intended for integration into memory controllers, accelerator cards, SSD/HDD storage and network storage. It can also be integrated into CPUs, TPUs, GPUs or AI engines through a system-on-chip implementation. The website reports the launch of the BlueFive processor and development of a computer vision AI accelerator chip. Target applications include high-performance computing, AI training, in-memory databases, high-frequency trading and image processing. The company lists a UK contact address at the Hauser Forum in Cambridge. It also reports an Innovate UK Smart Grant for an AI computer vision module and planned collaboration with Crypta Labs on a quantum-resilient cybersecurity memory module.
