D&R On-Demand WebinarNext Chapter in IP: Enabling InnovationBy Gagan Gupta, Senior Director of Product Marketing, ARC International
The next wave of innovation in IP technology will be driven by compute intensive, consumer applications such as video processing. With the explosion in usage of multimedia-enabled devices, SoCs have to support multiple standards, various resolutions, and enable encode and decode. At the same time, SoC designers are challenged to differentiate their chips from competition in order to command the highest ASP possible.
The technical challenges are numerous: Video encoding can require 18 GHz+ on a standard RISC processor; HD video and high resolution displays further increase performance requirements. Always connected, always on, battery-powered appliances need extended the battery life. This situation is compounded by the increasing standardization of “Star IP” that leads to a one-size-fits-all approach to SoC design. Increasingly, 32-bit CPUs are generic, and becoming too large to efficiently leverage application parallelism. So what’s the way forward?
