Creating SoC Designs Better and Faster With Integration Automation
A modern high-end system-on-chip (SoC) design can be extremely large and enormously complex, employing thousands of intellectual property (IP) blocks. Most of these IPs will be sourced from trusted third-party vendors. These will typically be augmented by one or more internally-developed IPs to provide the secret sauce that will distinguish this SoC from its competitors.Articles for the Week of June 10, 2024
System-on-chip (SoC) design is all about IP management
For most system-on-chip (SoC) designs, the most critical task is not RTL coding or even creating the chip architecture. Today, SoCs are designed primarily by assembling various silicon intellectual property (IP) blocks from multiple vendors. This makes managing silicon IP the dominant task in the design process.- Shift Left for More Efficient Block Design and Chip Integration

Procrastination Is All You Need: Exponent Indexed Accumulators for Floating Point, Posits and Logarithmic Numbers
This paper discusses a simple and effective method for the summation of long sequences of floating point numbers. The method comprises two phases: an accumulation phase where the mantissas of the floating point numbers are added to accumulators indexed by the exponents and a reconstruction phase where the actual summation result is finalised.
