Project description
Processing platform architecture for Europe’s chip sovereignty
European automotive production relies on processor architecture and advanced system-on-chips from China and the United States, posing challenges to meeting the goals of the European Chips Act. In this context, the EIC-funded VIVID project introduces a processor architecture developed by videantis of Hannover, Germany, already used by over 15 million cars. VIVID will create a unified, 100 % programmable processing platform boasting superior performance, power efficiency and compactness. Scaling up the architecture to incorporate hundreds of cores on a single 5 nm die, it serves as a reference chip platform for applications ranging from smart sensors to central high-performance computing systems for advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving. This diminishes Europe’s dependence on chip suppliers from China and the United States, potentially reducing costs by up to 90 %.
Objective
videantis (Hannover/DE) is a hidden champion for processor architecture and advanced SoC design. Our processor architecture is in automotive production in already 15M+ cars to date. With our team of 20 specialists, we are the only SME known in the EU already starting a 5nm design.
Our truly unified processing platform is 100% programmable and handles all signal processing tasks with superior PPA (performance, power, area) compared to other solutions. Building upon our reputation in automotive, we scale up the architecture to 100s of cores on a single 5nm die as a reference chip platform for smart sensors up to central HPCs for ADAS/AD.
This will enable European OEMs to realise own highest-performance and custom AI SoCs to reduce dependencies from their US and Chinese suppliers, reducing cost by up to 90%.
With the EIC funding, we will support the development of the reference platform and become a key driver for Europes chip sovereignty and to achieve the goals of the EU Chips Act.
