Last month, Canaan Inc. successfully went public with an IPO on Nasdaq. And just last week, our Arteris IP team was invited to attend a grand dinner to celebrate this wonderful achievement. During the dinner, Arteris IP was awarded by Canaan the "Best Ecosystem Partner of 2019 Award" which Rick Sun, our China Sales Manager (second from the right in the above photo) is holding. 

The entire Arteris IP team is proud that our efforts have helped contribute to Canaan's success on their AI chip, and we we look forward to more activities with them as they continue their explosive growth. This award is a testament not only to our products and technologies, but also the excellent Arteris IP team members supporting our customers worldwide.

AI, Safety and the Network

September 4th, 2019 - By Bernard Murphy

You probably know that Arteris IP is very active in AI and safety, leveraging their central value in network-on-chip (NoC) architectures. Bernard Murphy of SemiWiki blogged on Kurt Shuler's front-to-back white-paper to walking us through the essentials of AI, particularly machine learning (ML) and its application for example in cars.

Kurt also highlights an interesting point about this rapidly evolving technology. As we build automation from the edge to the fog to the cloud, functionality, including AI, remains quite fluid between levels. Kurt points out that this is somewhat mirrored in SoC design. In both cases architecture is constrained by need to optimize performance and minimize power across the system through intelligent bandwidth allocation and data locality. And for safety-critical applications, design and verification for safety around intelligent features must be checked not only within and between SoCs in the car but also beyond, for example in V2x communication between cars and other traffic infrastructure.

Edge Complexity To Grow For 5G

July 2nd, 2019 - By Kevin Fogarty and Ed Sperling

Increased interdependence of technologies will drive different architectures and applications. 

It gets even more complicated in the automotive world than other any other markets because of safety-critical circuitry.

“You may have to reboot part of the chip for a failed operation, while keeping the rest of it operating in a safe state,” said Kurt Shuler, vice president of marketing at Arteris IP. “If you think about the space shuttle or a Boeing 777, the black boxes are 20 pounds. You can’t have that in a car. There is a lot of functional safety being done at the microprocessor level to save cost. That can be used to spy on what’s happening at the system level, so if there are problems you can isolate them and in a safe state and fail gracefully. If there is a transient error, you reboot.”

Kurt Shuler, VP Marketing at Arteris IP, and Bernard Murphy (SemiWiki) discuss the hottest domains in tech today - AI and automotive in this new SemiWiki blog:

Intelligence in the Fog

June 12, 2019 - By Bernard Murphy

AI is creeping into places we might not expect, such as communication infrastructure. Bernard Murphy learns from Kurt Shuler how AI and AI-centric design methods are becoming more important in this surprising domain.

By now, you should know about AI in the cloud for natural language processing, image ID, recommendation, etc, etc (thanks to Google, Facebook, AWS, Baidu and several others) and AI on the edge for collision avoidance, lane-keeping, voice recognition and many other applications. But did you know about AI in the fog? First, a credit – my reference for all this information is Kurt Shuler, VP Marketing of Arteris IP. I really like working with these guys because they keep me plugged in to two of the hottest domains in tech today – AI and automotive. That and the fact that they’re really the only game in town for a commercial NoC solution, which means that pretty much everyone in AI, ADAS and a bunch of other fields (e.g. storage) is working with them.
