OpenFive is solution-centric and is positioned to design processor agnostic SoCs and deliver high-quality silicon.
“The world is moving towards domain-specific architectures to solve the needs of power, performance, and cost”, said Dr. Shafy Eltoukhy, SVP & GM of OpenFive. “Working collaboratively with our partners and customers, OpenFive innovates with segment-specific silicon solutions based on optimized processor and SoC IP targeted to our customer’s requirements.”
Domain-specific silicon has emerged as the method for delivering efficient, high-performance silicon and software solutions for modern computing challenges. OpenFive’s Idea-to-Silicon solutions, which have been built with advanced design methodologies on leading-edge foundry processes nodes down to 5nm, and 2.5D packaging technology, will enable domain-specific SoCs across a range of applications, according to the company.
OpenFive will look to offer customisable and differentiated SoC IP for Artificial Intelligence, Edge Computing, HPC, and Networking solutions. The OpenFive portfolio includes low-latency, high-throughput Interlaken connectivity fabric, 400/800G Ethernet, High-bandwidth memory (HBM2/E), USB subsystem IP, and die-to-die interconnect IP for next-generation heterogeneous chiplet-style products.
“OpenFive will accelerate the adoption of domain-specific silicon designs for workload-focused performance”, explained Dr. Naveed Sherwani, Chairman, President, and CEO of SiFive. “The adoption of RISC-V in heterogenous ISA designs will benefit the performance and scalability of products, and encourage more technology companies to move to open, free ISAs for their computing needs.”
