What they told YC
- Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.
- The company builds specialized silicon for running NP-complete algorithms.
- How long have each of you been working on this? How much of that has been full-time? Please explain.
- The founder started Integrated Reasoning in December 2021 and began working on it full-time in March 2022.
- What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.
- Integrated Reasoning designs processors tuned to the memory access patterns of NP-complete algorithms, positioned as an analog to GPUs but aimed at optimization and constraint satisfaction problems such as the knapsack problem. The approach targets memory bandwidth, which the founder identifies as the main bottleneck for computing solutions to these problems, with the goal of running such workloads at lower cost and energy than server clusters.
