FlexGen Smart NoC IP

Overview

Intelligent automation for next-gen SoC design

Arteris FlexGen® introduces cutting-edge AI heuristics and machine learning, automating NoC topology generation to achieve up to 10x faster design iterations than traditional methods.

Optimize wire length.
Reduce latency.
Improve power efficiency.
Minimize manual intervention.

Designed for automotive, data centers, and industrial electronics applications, FlexGen shortens design cycles, enabling faster time-to-market and/or multiple design explorations for the most complex systems.

Advantages

The smart and efficient way to build SoCs

10x productivity boost

Smart NoC generation is 10x faster than traditional NoC flows, shortening SoC or chiplet iterations from weeks to days for design efficiency.

Expert-level results

Minimal effort for top-quality results and three times improvement in engineering efficiency across all NoCs. Algorithms minimize routing congestion, improving silicon area during physical design, with proven links to physical synthesis, place, and route to support tape-out success.

Wire length reduction-driven performance

Smart AI heuristics using machine-learning technology deliver an optimized topology with an average wire length reduction of up to 30%, reducing overall latency by up to 10%, and delivering power improvements across the design.
