Overview

IMG DXS delivers 1.5x the peak performance of our previous generation of automotive GPUs, setting a new benchmark in safe computing that outperforms competitor equivalents. Its revolutionary functional safety technology, Distributed Safety Mechanisms, effectively eliminates the performance, power and area overheads of meeting ASIL-B requirements.

Key features

  • Safety without compromise: IMG DXS is ASIL-B certifiable and introduces a pioneering solution for functionally safe processing, Distributed Safety Mechanisms, that significantly reduces the performance, power, and area overhead of detecting faults in processing logic.
  • Graphics powerhouse: IMG DXS wields at least 50% more performance than the most powerful core of the previous generation, with the top core offering 48GPixel/s @1GHZ, with the ability to scale up to four cores. It adopts D-Series efficiencies, such as 2D Dual-Rate Texturing, to deliver amazing in-vehicle effects with minimum effort.
  • Compute intelligence: Hardware and software co-optimisations deliver up to 10x compute performance over previous generations, making IMG DXS the ideal GPU IP for supporting common automotive compute workloads such as driver monitoring and LiDAR/RADAR data pre-processing.

Applications

  • Infotainment: IMG DXS can comfortably entertain passengers on long journeys, delivering exceptional graphics and user interfaces to the latest dashboard-wide displays and rear passenger screens. It can also support natural language processing for voice-based user interfaces and driver monitoring.
  • ADAS: Advanced driver assistance systems demand unprecedented levels of computing performance. IMG DXS is a valuable addition to a car’s compute system, capable of offloading AI tasks from the CPU and NPU, without compromising the visual experience of drivers and passengers.

Tape-out Risk in the Age of Edge AI: The Case for GPU IP

A full SoC tape-out at 5nm approaches $400M in fully loaded, non-recurring engineering and mask costs. At 3nm, estimates push past $600M. Every IP block on that die is a commitment to a set of assumptions about what the silicon will need to do. In AI, those assumptions have a shorter shelf life than they used to.

What Does a GPU Have to Do With Automotive Security?

The automotive industry is undergoing the most significant transformation since the advent of electronics in cars. Vehicles are becoming software-defined, connected, AI-driven, and continuously updated. This evolution brings extraordinary new capability – but it also brings greater levels of cybersecurity and functional-safety risks.

How Alternate Geometry Processing Enables Better Multi-Core GPU Scaling

Scaling GPU performance across multiple cores sounds simple in theory: add more cores, get more performance. In practice, it’s one of the toughest challenges in graphics architecture. While some workloads scale well thanks to their independent nature, some workloads, especially geometry processing, introduce order dependencies that make linear performance scaling a tricky problem to solve for every GPU architecture in the industry.
