Podcast EP277: How Arteris FlexGen Smart NoC IP Democratizes Advanced Chip Design with Rick Bye
Dan is joined by Rick Bye, director of product management and marketing at Arteris with responsibility for the FlexNoC family of non-coherent Network-on-Chip IP products. Rick joined Arteris from Arm where he was a senior product manager in the Client Line of Business, responsible for a demonstration SoC and compression IP. Rick has extensive product management and marketing experience in semiconductors and embedded software, having enjoyed roles at Texas Instruments, Broadcom, Silicon Labs, NXP and Foundries.io (now Qualcomm).
Dan explores the capabilities and impact of the new Arteris FlexGen Smart NoC IP with Rick. This revolutionary product uses cutting-edge AI heuristics and machine learning to automate NoC generation. Rick explains this technology allows the development of optimized NoC architectures in minutes to hours without the need for a NoC design expert. Current approaches require substantial NoC expertise and can take days to weeks.
Rick reviews the broad range of applications which benefit from the use of an optimized NoC. Essentially all advanced designs can utilize this technology to reduce time to market while optimizing latency, power and performance with less expert resources. Rick gets into the details of how Arteris FlexGen Smart NoC IP delivers these significant improvements.
