This latest collaboration further extends the long-standing relationship between UltraSoC and Microsemi, and UltraSoC's embedded analytics technology has been embedded into a range of Microsemi products, including the company's state-of-the-art, high-performance storage disk drive controllers.
This new partnership is further driving the two companies' engagement in the RISC-V ecosystem: Microsemi and UltraSoC both play an active role and share a common passion for developing RISC-V ecosystems Microsemi recently unveiled its Mi-V ™ ecosystem to further its leadership in the RISC-V community, and UltraSoC is currently working with six major RISC-V processor vendors earlier this year Committed to supporting the rapid growth of the open-source ecosystem, a move forward, UltraSoC also announced in June this year that the company has introduced the industry's first processor tracking solution for RISC-V.
"UltraSoC continues to prove its worthless value to Microsemi as a leader in SoC development," said Alan Nakamoto, Microsemi's vice president of engineering services. "We are committed in a series of applications to making the most of RISC- V Architecture's development team to provide a comprehensive solution; and by working with UltraSoC, our commitment to our customers is enhanced and proven. '
Rupert Baines, CEO of UltraSoC, said: 'Microsemi is doing a lot of incredible and exciting work in porting its high-performance semiconductor products to the RISC-V platform. At UltraSoC, we believe the rise of RISC-V Represents a fundamental shift; it's a transformation that will benefit the entire technology industry and its customers, and we're excited to be part of it and work with Microsemi again to keep it current with our embedded analytics capabilities the design of. '
The UltraSoC plays an active role in the RISC-V ecosystem, which includes its leadership in the RISC-V Foundation commissioning working group and all major global seminars. The company has been active Advocates for Promoting the Benefits of Open Source Architecture; UltraSoC will attend the 7th RISC-V Workshop in Milpitas, California, USA, November 28-30.
The UltraSoC joins the RISC-V Foundation in 2016 with the goal of providing secure, independent on-chip development and debugging capabilities for the RISC-V community. In 2017, it provided its RISC-V processor trace specification for RISC The -V Foundation is chosen as part of its open source specs.
UltraSoC's embedded semiconductor IP products enable designers of complex and high performance devices to create an on-chip architecture that can monitor the hardware and software behavior of a chip in a non-intrusive manner, allowing engineers to take advantage of the IP to get the ultimate understanding of interworking between on-chip processor units, custom logic, and system software The benefits of using UltraSoC's embedded analytics are substantial, including safety and security for automotive designs , Information security applications on servers and data centers, and embedded IoT devices.
Support China's advanced chip development
In addition to its leading customers in North America and Europe, several leading Chinese chip design houses have selected UltraSoC for their related projects, such as Huawei Haas, Inc. These advanced chips are expected to be used in a variety of applications, including next generation Network, 5G mobile communications, high performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), etc. UltraSoC's technologies are aggressively serving these partners with ARM, RISC-V, MIPS and other architectures.
UltraSoC will showcase its on-chip monitoring and analysis IP at the 2017 China IC Design Conference and ICCAD 2017 in Beijing this month. Rupert Baines, CEO of the company, The team will be there to attend the event and will be presenting on the forum, November 17, a challenge entitled 'System-Level Complexity: A Need for a Framework for Commissioning, Security and Security Measures' In addition to ICCAD 2017, the Rupert and UltraSoC teams will come to Shenzhen to visit their local customers and partners.
ICCAD 2017 is sponsored by China Semiconductor Industry Association and co-hosted by IC Design Branch of China Semiconductor Industry Association and Beijing Zhongguancun Integrated Circuit Design Park. It is also supported by Beijing Semiconductor Industry Association.
