Survey Results Say ... Requirements for Next Generation On-Chip Communication Networks-November 29, 2012 |
Sonics commissioned an independent, blind worldwide survey covering on-chip communications networks (OCCN), defined as the entire interconnect fabric for SoCs. The survey was executed in October 2012, with 318 design and verification professionals participating. Sonics makes this survey available to the SoC community to improve awareness of SoC OCCN challenges and solutions.
As a result of massive function integration, the SoC world is now multi-core. The number of cores on each SoC is increasing dramatically as designers add more and more functionality in pursuit of the ever increasing demands by consumers for a better user experience. According to Semico, designs in 2013 will have an average of almost 90 different IP cores.
