Imec is extending the lessons learnt in its Automotive Chiplet Program to an Autonomous Edge Chiplet Program (AECP) as an acknowledgment that the same foundational HPC building blocks can serve a broader horizon of autonomous, compute-intensive systems.
By broadening the addressable market while minimising re-development efforts, this approach enables greater reuse of technology and accelerates adoption across the ecosystem for chiplet vendors and system integrators alike.
In doing so, automotive becomes part of a larger autonomous edge computing fabric, one that aligns technical requirements across domains, spreads development costs and enables an ecosystem capable of sustaining high‑performance compute at the edge.
