Rapid Adoption of Synopsys VIP for ARM AMBA 5 CHI-June 28, 2017 |
There was a time when coherent multi-processor systems were a niche technology with complex proprietary architectures. With ever increasing demand for performance, coherent systems with multiple processors and coherent accelerators are now being adopted rapidly across applications and market segments ranging from infrastructure networking and servers to storage and automotive. ARM® AMBA® 5 CHI provides the much needed standard architecture for coherent designs.
SoC leaders have adopted Synopsys VIP for CHI and other AMBA protocols for successful verification closure and tape out of coherent subsystems and interconnects. As a result of the pro-active collaboration with ARM to develop and prove VIP for CHI we have seen a rapid adoption of the CHI VIP and TestSuite.
