FHE software has taken the industry as far as it can, but it’s still too slow. We need dedicated hardware to further accelerate commercially viable FHE applications
Niobium’s FHE hardware accelerator is unique in that is built from the ground up to specifically address FHE mathematical algorithms rather than repurposing preexisting architectures.
Niobium’s custom FHE silicon is built to handle very large amounts of data with extraordinary efficiency. The chip design eliminates the need for cache-based memory storage, instead devoting extra silicon area to ciphertext storage and processing. Our PCIe board also includes dedicated hardware for FHE-specific mathematical operations. Its highly parallelized architecture allows it to run thousands of FHE computations simultaneously: Put simply, no other FHE software or hardware accelerator comes close.
Niobium’s hardware accelerator is is optimized for existing FHE libraries and software solutions, compiling them to run efficiently on the accelerator. It can be inserted into any existing server to accelerate the performance of FHE software solutions, and it works with all the main FHE schemes, giving organizations and hardware manufacturers the flexibility to incorporate Niobium into any application or environment.
