Re-Architecting SoCs for the AI Era

This paper will define AI, describe its applications, the problems it presents, and how designers can address those problems through new and holistic approaches to SoC and network on chip (NoC) design. It also describes challenges implementing AI functionality in automotive SoCs with ISO 26262 functional safety requirements.

Improving design routability and timing by smart port reduction and placement technique

The design complexity of sub-micron designs due to ever growing huge number of gates and interactions has made it difficult for physical design tools to handle the physical synthesis or placement and routing of such SOCs. Hence design partitioning plays a critical role for implementation of such design which deploys divide-and-conquer strategy.
