Why do we buy instead of build? Because the guys at the factory know what they’re doing.

The big question then becomes, which parts do we design in-house, and which do we bring in from outside? That’s a whiteboard architectural discussion, which can be heated and emotional. Engineers want to build stuff — that’s what they do. Managers want to get a working product out the door as economically as possible — that’s what they do. If the engineers want to make, and the managers want to buy, who wins? Who gets to make that call, and how do they justify the decision?

Ed Sperling of Semiconductor Engineering interviews Kurt Shuler at Arteris IP headquarters in this new video.

Arteris IP’s Kurt Shuler talks about the tradeoffs in AI SoCs, which range from power and performance to flexibility, depending on whether processing elements are highly specific or more general, and the need for more modeling.

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.
