BRISTOL, England -- Graphcore Ltd., a startup based here developing a machine learning processor, is not ready to make details of its hardware architecture public, but CEO Nigel Toon and CTO Simon Knowles did discuss with EE Times Europe some of their thinking on a variety of technology and business issues.
Toon said Graphcore has 40 employees and the $30 million raised in the recently announced Series A would be used to complete the first design and for some limited expansion.
