Multi-die designs for AI innovation and performance

Upgrade your data transport from networks-on-chips (NoCs) to super-NoCs, distributed across multiple chiplets.
Overview

Optimize data flow between chiplets

Multi-die systems and chiplet-based designs are helping to push Moore’s Law into the “More-than-Moore” era as traditional monolithic chips can no longer satisfy the escalating demands of today’s complex, high-performance computing and AI workloads.

Arteris accelerates AI-driven silicon innovation with an expanded multi-die solution. Built on silicon-proven NoC technology and Magillem™ automation, the multi-die platform delivers:

  • Flexible design scalability
  • Differentiated AI performance
  • Alignment with evolving industry standards

Working with industry standards such as Arm AMBA AXI and CXS, and with ecosystem partners that supply die-to-die controllers and PHYs , whether Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express™ (UCIe), Bunch of Wires (BoW) or proprietary links, Arteris NoC IP helps ensure seamless, low-latency data flow between chiplets. As a result, developers can hit aggressive performance, power and time-to-market goals, despite the growing complexity of multi-die designs.

Advantages

Designed for interoperability and performance

Interoperability

Connect to industry-leading die-to-die PHY connections with their digital controllers using standard interfaces like Arm AMBA protocols.

Bandwidth

Increase on-chip and off-chip bandwidth with HBM2 and multichannel memory support, multicast/broadcast writes, VC-Link™ Virtual Channels, and source-synchronous communications.

Low power

Fewer wires and fewer gates consume less power, breaking communication paths into smaller segments. This controls power to only active segments, and simple internal protocols allow aggressive clock gating.

Multi-Die Use-Cases

Homogeneous Scale-Out

Demand for larger, scalable systems is driving the requirement for homogeneous solutions which enable a single chiplet design to be re-used multiple times to scale up to a larger system. A homogeneous chiplet solution can help where the design is too large for a reticle (858 mm2) or yield issues would make a single die solution prohibitively expensive compared with multiple smaller dies with improved yield.

Heterogeneous Disaggregation

Heterogeneous disaggregation is a chiplet solution where the individual dies differ. The design may be too large for a single die, either due to reticle limits or yield, similar to heterogenous solutions. Multiple dies can also facilitate the most appropriate semiconductor process for the application. For example, SRAM scaling has slowed since the 7 nm node and SRAM in 3 nm is no smaller than 5 nm. If a die contains large amounts of SRAM, implementing the SRAM on a lower cost, more mature process with a higher yield may be a better alternative. Likewise, specialist I/O (eg, high voltage) or RF may drive the solution towards a separate I/O chiplet.

Standards

Standards collaboration across the industry

Choosing the proper NoC protocol for die-to-die data transport is critical to meeting performance, latency, and power requirements in system design. Providers of the physical connections typically deliver PHYs and controllers, including link layers that carry the raw flow control units (FLITs) from die to die. Arteris works with partners that include Synopsys, Cadence, Alphawave, Blue Cheetah Analog, Innosilicon, and others to align on NoC to controller/PHY interfaces. In addition, Arteris actively participates in related standardization efforts, including:
