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

Descripción del proyecto

Un servicio para los procesadores

Todo dispositivo electrónico moderno tiene un procesador en su núcleo. Estos procesadores permiten que los dispositivos se conecten a internet y utilicen diversos sistemas como el internet de las cosas, la inteligencia artificial, el 5G y el cifrado y descifrado de datos. Sin embargo, en los últimos años, en lo que respecta a los procesadores, se ha pasado de centrarse en la velocidad a orientarse a otras cualidades como la durabilidad, la sostenibilidad energética y el tamaño. Por ello, el desarrollo de procesadores se enfrenta a un grave problema, ya que los procesadores de uso general no pueden cumplir estos requisitos. El proyecto Codasip, financiado con fondos europeos, abordará esta dificultad mediante un servicio a través del cual producirán IP de procesador personalizadas y adaptadas a cada cliente y campo de aplicación a un precio asequible. El equipo del proyecto lo logrará contratando a diversos expertos en desarrollo y fabricación de procesadores.

Objetivo

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.
