GHz and Beyond: Designing Tomorrow's Highest Frequency SoCs

Overview:
To keep pace with next-generation 'smart devices', SoC designers require optimal performance, headroom, innovative power management technology and advanced levels of concurrency to match the increased capabilities demanded by consumers. High-performance, simultaneous application processing for smart phones, mobile video and tablets is no longer optional—it's a must-have for all devices. As designers look at integrating high-frequency on-chip networks onto their SoCs, it is essential for them to have the necessary performance to run multiple, high-speed applications simultaneously to fully leverage the capabilities of their entire system.

In this webinar, Sonics will show SoC designers and system architects how to:

• Maximize data flow concurrency, minimize power and deliver peak performance levels in any SoC
• Design an SoC using the highest frequency network-on-chip (NoC) solution at speeds of a GHz and beyond
• Use intelligent system partitioning to manage complex, multi-function SoCs with multiple clock and power domains
• Save significant power and cost for even the most complex SoC designs
