CHIPS Alliance Announces Rapid Silicon as its Newest Member
Rapid Silicon to join to help drive forward open-source FPGA innovation
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 30, 2022 – CHIPS Alliance, the leading consortium advancing common and open hardware for interfaces, processors, and systems, today announced that Rapid Silicon, Inc has joined the CHIPS Alliance organization as a platinum member. Rapid Silicon is a leading startup focused on the revolutionization that FPGAs have brought to the industry and is democratizing their availability and use by all. FPGAs offer highly-flexible programmable silicon, enabled by a suite of advanced software and tools to drive rapid innovation across a wide span of industries and technologies – to areas such as AI, automotive, and communication, to name a few. Their first product Gemini, an FPGA fabric designed with state-of-the-art semiconductor technology using FlexNoC interconnect IP to eliminate performance bottlenecks, is the start of the revolution to greatly modernize FPGAs. Rapid Silicon offers the RAPTOR open-source EDA FGPA platform that compliments CHIPS F4PGA open-source efforts.
“Open-source is at the heart of everything we do at Rapid Silicon. The tools and infrastructure developed inside the CHIPS Alliance FPGA-focused workgroups provide tremendous value to our mission and our products. We believe that providing an open source-friendly vendor target will spur growth, capability, and community involvement that will benefit all FPGA targets,” said Tony McDowell, Director of the Rapid Silicon Open-Source Program Office.
“Rapid Silicon joining CHIPS as a platinum member further solidifies and accelerates our efforts in open-source FPGA tooling and increases the level of collaboration between our participants. Rapid Silicon’s philosophy of democratizing hardware development is exactly what CHIPS is all about. I look forward to the further creativity and expansion of the open-source community this brings us.,” said Rob Mains, General Manager at CHIPS Alliance.
