Arteris Bridges Hardware-Software Gap with New EDA Tool

Magillem Registers is all about speeding up the design of hardware-software interfaces in complex, large-scale SoCs.

In today’s semiconductor landscape, scale is becoming a bigger battleground—not only for chipmakers, but increasingly for hyperscalers, cloud giants, and other systems companies, too. They're all racing to roll out a new class of ultra-large systems-on-chips (SoCs), cramming tens of billions of transistors and incorporating a wide range of IP blocks to handle computationally heavy workloads, such as AI training and inferencing.

In many cases, these chips are breaking out of the limits of monolithic chips, integrating heterogeneous dies or "chiplets" using 2.5D and 3D packaging technologies. 

But the real value of the hardware ultimately hinges on the software stack that runs on top of it. The hardware-software interface, or HSI, plays a central role in a modern chip design, bridging the physical hardware and the software and firmware that executes on top of it.
