Tell us about your company
Mach42 is a verification acceleration company. The company is a spinout company from Oxford University, delivering the next step-change in simulation acceleration. We are an early-stage software company developing state-of-the-art machine learning and artificial intelligence technology to simplify, automate, and accelerate simulation tasks. We leverage proprietary neural network technology to accelerate expensive calculations, and we do it with minimal data and high accuracy, providing many orders of magnitude speedup in verification acceleration. Our platform is already delivering a substantial competitive advantage to our early customers.
The company’s innovative technology has been covered in scientific articles such as Nature Physics and Science Magazine. In May 2023, the company announced First Light Fusion, the University of Oxford, the University of York, Imperial College London, and Mach42 will collaborate under a $16 million grant award from UK Research and Innovation’s Prosperity Partnership program (more details here). Our solution is selected to support the above consortium.
We have offices in the UK and California. Our core R&D team is based in the UK, and our US office provides business and technical support. We closed our pre-series A funding in September 2023, and the link below provides more details about our vision, its investors, and its co-founders: Machine Discovery Secures $6 Million to Deliver AI Tools For Semiconductor Design (prnewswire.com).
Mach42 was previously known as Machine Discovery.
What problems are you solving?
Our flagship product, the Discovery Platform, allows you to exhaustively explore the design space in minutes, enabling you to identify potential out-of-spec conditions. As a companion to SPICE engines, the Discovery Platform leverages our breakthrough AI technology for faster and exhaustive design verification.
What application areas are your strongest?
The Discovery Platform has demonstrated its shift-left ROI benefits in multiple complex applications, including PMIC, SerDes, and RF designs. It delivers accurate and secure design representations to explore the entire space in minutes.
Applications:
– Quickly and efficiently explore the design space in minutes
– Generate an AI-powered model of your design
– Analyze chip, package, and board-level LRC effects
– Generate a secure model of your design to share with third parties
What does the competitive landscape look like and how do you differentiate?
Mach42 is the first to market with its AI-powered platform to accelerate complex verification tasks.
In the coming years, trillions of dollars of revenue will be generated from new product developments in the engineering market. With this increase in supply, establishing early design insights using multi-physics simulation solutions will be vital to getting new products to market. We are uniquely positioned as a pure-play AI company servicing the semiconductor industry.
What new features/technology are you working on?
Our vision is to cut the semiconductor design development cycle in half, leveraging our proprietary artificial intelligence technology. Thanks to the team’s experience and expertise, we are in an ideal position to drive the development of new technology to accelerate and improve all levels of product development, from design to verification, test development, and IP security.
By combining advanced simulation technology, cloud computing, and neural network technology, we make it possible to predict analog circuit design performance at the click of a button.
