Arteris Articles

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.

What are the system designs that require a leap in SoC complexity? It’s not only big datacenter artificial intelligence (AI) chips, but also autonomous vehicles such as cars, trucks and drones; they are self-landing, reusable rockets; they are medical devices carrying out remote diagnostics; and they are connected machine tool controllers supporting smart manufacturing.

These chips are starting to be referred to as “Monster Chips” because of both the size and complexity.

Kurt Shuler, VP of Marketing at Arteris IP has written this 10-page technical paper titled, "Re-Architecting SoCs for the AI Era".

Abstract:
The growth of artificial intelligence (AI) demands that semiconductor companies re-architect their system on chip (SoC) designs to provide more scalable levels of performance, flexibility, efficiency, and integration. From the edge to data centers, AI applications require a rethink of memory structures, the numbers and types of heterogeneous processors and hardware accelerators, and careful consideration of how the dataflow is enabled and managed between the various high-performance IP blocks.

An interconnect handles various types of traffic inside an SoC and is a mechanism for effective IP block integration. The interconnect is the most configurable IP in the SoC — typically changing many times during a project and nearly always changing between projects. It also plays a vital role in security and functional safety because it carries most of the SoC data and contains nearly all the SoC’s long wires and system-level services, including quality of service (QoS), visibility, physical awareness, and power management. The interconnect enables cache coherency in multiprocessor SoCs, high-performance and bandwidth levels in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) automotive chips and networking SoCs, and ultra-low power in long-running consumer devices.
