As featured in: I’ve been hearing the term “IP subsystem” lately, and it seems to be the latest newfangled buzz word in the SoC semiconductor and IP industry, second only to “virtualization.” Much of the context for this growing interest

Provides compatibility with ARM AMBA 4 CCI-400 and Cortex-A15 cores while reducing routing congestion, easing timing closure and increasing performance

Today in the IP and EDA business, I hear “knock” all the time, except people mean “NoC.” It seems everybody wants a NoC, or wants to offer you a NoC. I’m here to tell you that NoC is not a

TI has placed extensive information on their new OMAP5430 and OMAP5432 processors on their web page.

The 3 evils of wire routing congestion are poor performance, longer schedules, and lower yields

A couple months ago a professor researching in my company’s technology space asked me, “Why doesn’t industry use our research?”

It’s official: RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook brain is the TI OMAP4430 processor. The TI OMAP4430 is a very sophisticated mobile application processor system on chip (SoC) with dual ARM Cortex-A9 CPU cores, an Imagination Technologies POWERVR SGX540 GPU and the TI-created

I hope my title doesn’t sound too condescending, and I apologize for stealing Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign slogan, but it’s apparent to me that a lot of the talk on the Internet about the Chinese Tianhe-1A supercomputer is sour grapes.

Network on Chip (NoC) in SoC history: From AMBA AHB, AXI & OCP to the NoC.
