CCIX Update: TSMC, Xilinx, Cadence, Arm...and Jasper-November 30, 2017 |
CCIX (pronounced see-six) is the Cache Coherent Interconnect for Accelerators. I wrote about it in my post CCIX is Pronounced C6 and also when Cadence announced its collaboration with TSMC, Arm and Xilinx in Xilinx/Arm/Cadence/TSMC Announce World's First 7nm CCIX Silicon Demonstrator. There have recently been a couple of updates. First, at Arm TechCon on the foundry afternoon, TSMC, Cadence, Xilinx and Arm all gave some background on their collaboration. Then, at the Jasper User Group (JUG) held recently, Cadence's IP group talked about using formal approaches to verify their implementation of CCIX IP that is inside the demonstrator chip.
