Arm announced that it will promote customized design requirements for the Neoverse computing subsystem (CSS) and build an ecosystem called Arm Total Design to allow more ASIC design companies, technology asset providers, data analysis tool companies, as well as wafer foundries and firmware developers to join, thereby accelerating and simplifying the Neoverse computing subsystem development process while reducing the cost required for customized chips.
Arm's proposed ecosystem will not only enable more companies to build customized chips through its solutions, but also integrate the currently mainstream chiplet stacking technology and further integrate with AMBA CHI C2C and UCIe chip designs.
For example, Japanese chip design company Socionext uses Neoverse computing subsystem customization solutions and TSMC's 2nm process technology to create chip products constructed in multi-core, small chip form, which are used in servers, data center artificial intelligence edge computing equipment, and 5G or future 6G network infrastructure.
The ecosystem currently being built to meet the customized design requirements of the Neoverse computing subsystem includes Cadence, Synopsys, ADTechnology, Alphawave Semiconductor, Capgemini, Faraday Technology, Socionext, and Sondrel. In addition, TSMC, Intel, and AMI also contribute to the ecosystem, providing technology assets, data analysis, wafer foundry services, and firmware development resources.
Within this ecosystem, Arm will propose a design architecture, enabling companies to more quickly create exclusive customized chip products by leveraging resources provided by comprehensive design ecosystem partners. This will also enable them to bring products to market faster and reduce development costs, while also accelerating the growth of ecosystem partners.
