Arteris Partners with IC-Link by imec
Collaboration combines network-on-chip IP with ASIC and silicon photonics expertise to accelerate AI and HPC chip development.
Arteris has announced a collaboration with IC-Link by imec to support the development of next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) semiconductor platforms.
Under the partnership, IC-Link, imec's ASIC and silicon photonics design and manufacturing service provider, will integrate Arteris' network-on-chip (NoC) intellectual property into the development of advanced chiplets and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).
The collaboration is intended to help semiconductor developers reduce design complexity, improve IP reuse and accelerate time to market for increasingly sophisticated AI and HPC devices.
By combining IC-Link's subsystem expertise with Arteris' NoC technology, the partners aim to provide a scalable architecture that simplifies integration while allowing design teams to focus on application-specific innovation.
"As semiconductor complexity continues to grow, including in AI ASICs, engineering teams increasingly need ways to reuse proven infrastructure and focus their efforts on high-performance differentiation," said K. Charles Janac, President and CEO of Arteris.
The collaboration also highlights the growing convergence of advanced ASIC design and silicon photonics technologies as the industry develops higher-performance computing platforms for AI, data centres and emerging edge applications.
By reducing development risk and streamlining system integration, the partnership aims to support the next generation of complex semiconductor and photonic-enabled computing systems.
