HiSilicon Kirin 970 Processor | Cadence Vision P6 DSP

The HiSilicon Kirin 970 mobile application processor built by Taiwan's SiS under the 10-nanometer manufacturing process is based on the Tensilica Vision P6 DSP from EDA maker Cadence, which enhances the visual processing performance of the image. In the future, this technology can be widely applied to the 3D sense Measurement, human-machine interface, AR / VR and mobile device bio-recognition and other emerging image application platform.

Cadence officially announced that its Cadence Tensilica Vision P6 DSP was adopted by Haisi, a mainland IC design supplier, and Haisi is an IC design company under Huawei. Cadence Tensilica Vision P6 DSP is used in the Huawei Mate 10 series handsets to enhance the image and visual processing capabilities. The Kirin 970 AP is based on TSMC's 10nm process.

The Vision P6 DSP offers increased computing power and architecture optimizations up to four times the performance of previous generation Tensilica Vision P5 DSPs. Due to its broad VLIW SIMD architecture, a highly optimized instruction set, image library, and more, All make DSP the ideal platform for emerging imaging applications such as 3D sensing, human-machine interfaces, AR / VR and mobile device biometrics.

Based on the Cadence Tensilica Xtensa architecture, the Tensilica Vision P6 DSP combines hardware options and image / vision DSP capabilities with visual / image applications from established ecosystem partners as well as full support for other Tensilica applications, simulation and Probe, wafer and service ecosystem partners Xtensa architecture is an licensable processor architecture, shipping products from sensors to supercomputers and other products are available.

Pulin Desai, director of marketing for image and vision products at Cadence, said that HiSilicon integrates the Vision P6 DSP into the Kirin 970 AP, a symbol of Vision's thought to be the most suitable for 3D sensing, human-machine interface and AR / VR applications High-performance processors that require high levels of power consumption and expect to continue to work with Hassith in the future to participate in their continuous innovation in mobile and digital media.

Diao Yanqiu, vice-president of HiSilicon's Image Processor Division, said that with the Cadence Tensilica team for a long time, the Tensilica Vision P6 DSP offers low-power and high-performance features to meet the mobile platform's demand for innovative image applications. The Cadence-provided Software tools and libraries also help Hass reduced development time.
