CPU extensibility using hardware modules like eFPGA core allows designers to quickly respond to changes in the field. ... The EDA flow also generates the whole software development kit (SDK), ...

In Part I of this article we have described how the combination of logic libraries and embedded memories within an EDA design flow can be used to optimize area in CPU, GPU or DSP cores. In Part II we ...

It is an EDA flow that is nowhere near as sophisticated as the existing flows. It may include many design restrictions, often hidden within the processor architecture, that would enable someone to ...

But while design sizes grew, other aspects of the flow did not develop as fast. “This has been driven by the fact that CPU scaling stopped and many of the algorithms and tools available from EDA are ...

The EDA industry is set to undergo a fundamental change as the complexity of multi-processor system-on-chip devices renders their specification, design and verification impossible with the available ...

Finally EDA software tools on cloud have arrived, ... This design flow offers a complete, processor-based IoT chip environment. Nandan Nayampally, vice president of marketing and strategy, CPU Group ...

AutoDMP was evaluated using a macro placement benchmark from the TILOS AI-Institute, which includes CPU and AI accelerator designs that come with a large number of macros. In the evaluation, ...

For example, Apple’s 5nm SoC A14 features 6-core CPU, 4 core-GPU and 16-core neural engine capable of 11 trillion operations per second, which incorporates 11.8 billion transistors, and AWS 7nm 64-bit ...

Flow is a startup backed by Finland's state-owned VTT research organisation (via Techcrunch), and its proposal is to add a Parallel Processing Unit (PPU) integrated into a co-processor that works ...

Further performance gains come from refactoring and recompiling software to work better with the PPU-CPU combo. Flow says it has seen increases up to 100x with code that’s been modified ...

Flow’s groundbreaking new architecture, referred to as a Parallel Processing Unit (PPU), boosts the CPU performance up to 100-fold through PPU integrated on-die through a license from Flow.
