CAMPBELL, Calif., May 19, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Arteris IP, the world's leading supplier of innovative, silicon-proven network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect intellectual property, today announced that Blue Ocean Smart System has licensed Arteris FlexNoC Interconnect IP and the accompanying AI Package for use in next generation systems-on-chip (SoC) that hardware accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) neural network inference and training.

"From prior experience, I knew that Arteris interconnect IP was the best solution to construct complex high frequency and high bandwidth on-chip interconnects that were backend friendly for easier timing closure. The addition of the AI Package allows us to finely tune our chip architecture using multicast write semantics which greatly reduce off-chip memory accesses while using little die area and consuming much less power," said John Rowland, President of Blue Ocean Smart System. "Our use of Arteris FlexNoC and the AI Package has been key to turning our architectural dreams into system-on-chip reality."

John Rowland added, "The Arteris IP team and technology have been crucial to optimizing our on-chip dataflow for our unique AI chip architecture. Arteris IP has been a great partner providing best-in-class technology and world-class technical support."

"Blue Ocean's choice of our NoC interconnect IP for their novel AI accelerator chips is a resounding vote of confidence in our technology's ability to tackle the high speed and on-chip bandwidth demands of artificial intelligence and machine learning SoCs," said K. Charles Janac, President and CEO of Arteris IP. "Arteris IP is the only IP company 100% focused on creating unique on-chip interconnect technologies that accelerate the development and performance of complex AI SoC architectures."
