Where Should Auto Sensor Data Be Processed?

August 1st, 2019 - By Ann Steffora Mutschler

Fully autonomous vehicles are coming, but not as quickly as the initial hype would suggest...

Indeed, when it comes to processing the sensor data, a number of approaches currently point to allowing for scaling between different ADAS levels, but which the best way to do that is still up for debate.

“There must be an architecture they can do that with, and the question is, ‘How do you do that?'” said Kurt Shuler, vice president of marketing at Arteris IP. “There’s a lot of interest in getting more hardware accelerators to manage the communications in software, and directly managing the memory. For this, cache coherence is growing in importance. But how do you scale a cache coherent system? This must be done in an organized way, as well as adding a whole bunch of masters and slaves to it, such as additional clusters.”

Kurt Shuler, VP Marketing at Arteris IP, helped Bernard Murphy (SemiWiki) learn the multiple ways that different types of memory need to connect to these accelerators in the latest SemiWiki blog:

ML and Memories: A Complex Relationship

March 13th, 2019 - By Bernard Murphy

How do AI architectures connect with memories? The answer is more complex than in conventional SoC architectures.

No, I’m not going to talk about in in-memory-compute architectures. There’s interesting work being done there but here I’m going to talk here about mainstream architectures for memory support in Machine Learning (ML) designs. These are still based on conventional memory components/IP such as cache, register files, SRAM and various flavors of off-chip memory, including not yet “conventional” high-bandwidth memory (HBM). However, the way these memories are organized, connected and located can vary quite significantly between ML applications.

Don't Miss the Arteris IP Presentation on AI SoC Architectures, Thursday, April 11, 2019 

Location: Hyatt Regency, Santa Clara, CA
Session 5: SoC Design: Thursday, April 11

Arteris IP presenting: "Adapting SoC Architectures for Types of Artificial-Intelligence Processing"

Come to the Linley Spring Processor Conference on April 10 - 11, 2019  - and attend the Arteris IP presentation on Thursday, April 11 during Session 5: SoC Design, were we will describe lessons learned on how to use network-on-chip (NoC) technology to efficiently implement SoC architectures targeted for different types of AI processing, including advanced techniques like when to use tiling or cache coherence, whether for edge/battery-operated or datacenter chips.
