Arteris is a catalyst for system-on-chip (SoC) innovation as the leading provider of semiconductor system IP for the acceleration of SoC development. Arteris Network-on-Chip (NoC) interconnect intellectual property (IP) and SoC integration technology enable higher product performance with lower power consumption and faster time to market, delivering proven flexibility and better economics for system and semiconductor companies, so innovative brands are free to dream up what comes next.
With your extensive experience at Arm and now leading product management at Arteris, how has your perspective on the evolution of semiconductor IP and interconnect technologies changed over the years? What key trends excite you the most today?
It’s been an extraordinary journey—from my early days writing test benches for ASICs at Arm to helping shape product strategy at Arteris, where we’re at the forefront of interconnect IP innovation. Back in 1999, system complexity rapidly accelerated, but the focus was still primarily on processor performance and essential SoC integration. Verification methodologies were evolving, but interconnect was often seen as a fixed infrastructure—necessary but not strategic.
