RISC-V Digital Architecture for the Next Generation of Connected Era

Project description

Providing a service for processors

Every modern electronic device has a processor at its core. These processors allow devices to connect to the Internet and use a variety of systems such as IoT, AI, 5G and data encryption/decryption. In recent years, however, the focus as regards the processors has shifted from speed to a variety of other qualities such as durability, energy sustainability and size. Because of this, processor development is facing a serious problem as all-purpose processors are not able to meet these requirements. The EU-funded Codasip project will address this difficulty by providing a service through which they will be producing personalised processor IPs suitable for every customer and application domain at a convenient price. They will achieve this by employing a variety of experts in processor development and manufacturing.

Objective

At the core of every electronic device, enabling a product to be connected to the Internet, is an embedded processor. IoT, AI, 5G, data encryption/decryption etc., they all rely on power-efficient, secure, and economical embedded processors to carry out their important on-chip functions. These technologies are changing everything about semiconductor industry. The speed is not what matters the most anymore. Energy consumption, durability, miniaturization and configurability are greatly important as these chips are being put into multitude of industries & plethora of applications. General-purpose chips just would not do it – they could handle each of tasks; however, they would be large and power inefficient. Thus the demand for custom chips keeps rising. The industry players will compete based on the best chip for specific purpose - what data capture & communications services their chips enable, at what cost.
For companies failing to differentiate their products because they are using the same IP building blocks as their competitors and those with margins squeezed by legacy providers, Codasip offers a compelling value proposition: a processor IP with very high performance, very low power consumption, fully tailorable so that it can be made uniquely for each customer and application domain for convenient price. We created a broad portfolio of licensable RISC-V processors IP consisting of several RISC-V derivatives for a broad range of application requirements, from very small-footprint and low-gate-count cores, to high-performance, high-frequency cores with advanced DSP capabilities, suiting from wireless sensors to 5G and AI chips.
We are the experts in processor design, holding the leading position in RISC-V processor IP. Key to our success are highly skilled people developing our solution, understanding emerging technologies and making us compete with the best of the best. Our commercial teams make us reach global markets, with customers as far as Japan or US.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
