Esperanto said that it would continue to utilise the SoC software to develop its next generation of energy-efficient solutions for AI inference and HPC workloads for data centre and enterprise-edge applications.
At the heart of Esperanto’s solutions are its ET-SoC-1 “supercomputer-on-a-chip” which is designed to run Generative AI and HPC workloads with reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) due to its highly energy-efficient operation.
This complex SoC integrates over 1,000 energy-efficient 64-bit RISC-V cores with custom vector/tensor units optimised for machine learning (ML) applications and can run the latest large language models (LLMs) with just a fraction of the power required by a GPU, making it versatile for use in the data centre and at the enterprise edge.
The massive processor parallelism and configurations for registers and memory maps make the integration automation software, CSRCompiler, essential for achieving higher-quality silicon and faster time to market.
“Arteris is a leader in SoC integration automation technology and their software is an important part of our silicon design flow for managing complexity,” said Art Swift, president and CEO of Esperanto Technologies. “Arteris’ CSRCompiler software is a key enabler for achieving our silicon performance and power efficiency goals that will address the needs of the expanding data centre and enterprise edge markets.”
CSRCompiler streamlines the hardware/software interface (HSI) foundation creation. The SoC integration automation software automates HSI design, verification, firmware and documentation, providing multi-language support without additional scripting.
The method supports an agile flow to ensure best practices and early engagement by the entire team through collaborative management from a single source specification.
CSRCompiler provides a complete, correct and up-to-date design ecosystem, turning address map sharing into a smooth and integrated process, preventing design mistakes and enabling faster turnaround times.
