SemiWiki: The Zen of Auto Safety - a Path to Enlightenment

Kurt Shuler, VP of Marketing and Stefano Lorenzini, Functional Safety Manager at Arteris IP, share stories with Bernard Murphy (SemiWiki) to help you chill. Safety is critical, but that’s doesn't mean you have to panic.

The Zen of Auto-Safety - a Path to Enlightenment

July 7, 2021 - Bernard Murphy

Safety is a complex topic, but we’re busy. We take the course, get the certificate. Check, along with a million other things we need to do. But maybe it’s not quite that simple. I talked recently with Kurt Shuler (VP of marketing) and Stefano Lorenzini (functional safety manager) at Arteris IP and concluded that finding enlightenment in safety is more of a journey than a destination. I’m going to share with you a few stories they told me which highlight this journey. Because journeys / stories are my favorite way to share an idea.

SemiWiki: IP-XACT Resurgence, Design Enterprise Catching Up

Isabelle Geday, VP & GM of the new IP Deployment Division at Arteris IP, gives Bernard Murphy (SemiWiki) insight into some motivations driving companies to switch to IP-XACT.

This standard has been around in one form or another for over ten years and was then arguably ahead of its time. RTL designers were confused: ‘We already have RTL. Why do we need something else?’ I also didn’t get it. Still, the standard plugged ahead among the faithful and found traction among IP vendors. Particularly as a common format to distribute non-RTL data, like register maps. But a lot has been changing in the meantime. Faster moving competitors. More horizontal and vertical dependencies. Mergers and acquisitions. Chinese technology growth and competition. To adapt, some top-tier organizations have already fully embraced IP-XACT, others are now racing to catch up. Why? Rather than making a dry technical case, I’ll share a few real examples (no names).

SemiWiki: Architecture Wrinkles in Automotive AI: Unique Needs

Bernard Murphy (SemiWiki) learns from Stefano Lorenzini, Functional Safety Manager at Arteris IP, the difference between AI in automotive and other contexts.

Architecture Wrinkles in Automotive AI: Unique Needs

May 20th, 2021 - Bernard Murphy

Arteris IP recently spoke at the Spring Linley Processor Conference on April 21, 2021 about Automotive systems-on-chips (SoCs) architecture with artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) and Functional Safety. Stefano Lorenzini, Functional Safety Manager at Arteris IP, presented a nice contrast between auto AI SoCs and those designed for datacenters. Never mind the cost or power, in a car we need to provide near real-time performance for sensing, recognition and actuation. For IoT applications we assume AI on a serious budget, power-sipping, running for 10 years on a coin cell battery. But that isn't the whole story. AI in the car is a sort of hybrid, with the added dimension of safety, which makes for unique architecture wrinkles in automotive AI.

SemiWiki: Arteris IP Contributes to Major MPSoC Text

Bernard Murphy of (SemiWiki) comments on a recent book release on MPSoC design.

Arteris IP Contributes to Major MPSoC Text

April 29th, 2021 - Bernard Murphy

You might have heard of the Multicore and Multiprocessor SoC (MPSoC) Forum sponsored by IEEE and other industry associations and companies. This group of top-notch academic and industry technical leaders gets together once a year to talk about hardware and software architecture and applications for multicore and multiprocessor systems-on-chip (SoCs). They gather to debate the latest and greatest ideas to meet emerging needs.

K. Charles Janac, president and CEO of Arteris IP, wrote the first chapter in the third section on network-on-chip (NoC) architectures. I’m impressed that what must be considered a definitive technical reference on MPSoCs required a chapter on NoC interconnect, and the editors turned to Arteris IP to write that chapter.
