Arteris' FlexNoC Again Chosen by AppliedMicro for X-Gene Server-on-Chip Products

Shorter time-to-closure and end-to-end Quality-of-Service (QoS) tuning result in better interconnect performance for ARM-based server SoC

March 31, 2015 -- Arteris Inc., the inventor and leading supplier of network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect IP solutions, today announced that AppliedMicro, also known as Applied Micro Circuits Corporation, has selected Arteris® FlexNoC® for use in its X-Gene™ Server on a Chip Solutions. The proven Arteris FlexNoC fabric IP enables low latency on-chip communication on these extremely complex SoCs, significantly reducing the effort to close timing and increasing performance.

AppliedMicro first licensed the Arteris FlexNoC interconnect IP for its X-Gene Server on a Chip platform development in 2012. FlexNoC fabric IP is the backbone SoC interconnect for the shipping X-Gene product as well as the recently announced second-generation X-Gene 2 product line.

“The AppliedMicro X-Gene server chips are some of the most sophisticated SoC designs leveraging the ARMv8 64-bit architecture,” said K. Charles Janac, President and CEO of Arteris. “By adopting Arteris FlexNoC fabric IP for the X-Gene platforms, AppliedMicro has cast a convincing vote of confidence in our unique technology and showcased the level of complexity and power savings that our IP enables.”
