SoCs for Edge Computing

• OpenFive is a solution-centric silicon company
  that is uniquely positioned to design processor
  agnostic SoC architecture.
• With customizable and differentiated IP, OpenFive
  develops domain-specific SoC architecture based
  on high-performance, highly-efficient,
  cost-optimized IP to deliver scalable, optimized,
  differentiated silicon.
• OpenFive offers end-to-end expertise in
  Architecture, Design Implementation, Software,
  Silicon Validation and Manufacturing to deliver
  high-quality silicon.
• The demand for domain-specific silicon and
  workload-focused architecture is driven by
  several key factors. General purpose processors
  used to be the workhorses for the majority of
  computing tasks.
• With transistor cost increasing, and the end of
  Dennard scaling,

• purpose processors have become very power hungry
  and performance increases are hard to find from
  process technology alone architecture plays a
  key role in workload acceleration.
• Were not alone in seeing this opportunity, as
  leading technology companies are embracing
  domain-specific accelerators targeted for
  applications such as AI training/inference,
  network virtualization and computational storage.
  
• Domain-specific or workload-focused silicon
  enable the cost-effective, scalable products
  desired by technology companies who want to own
  theirroadmap and vertically integrate their
  products with hardware and software IP.
• OpenFive is built around a balance of silicon
  expertise and customizable IP, including a
  focused portfolio of SoC IP to enable key design
  features. OpenFives advanced design
  methodologies enable the use of leading edge
  foundry nodes, including 5nm, with 2.5D packaging
  technology, to build Artificial Intelligence,
  Edge Computing, HPC, and Networking solutions.
• The OpenFive IP portfolio includes low-latency,
  high-throughput Interlaken connectivity fabric,
  400/800G Ethernet, High-bandwidth memory
  (HBM2/E), USB subsystem IP, and die-to-die

• interconnect IP for next-generation heterogeneous
  chiplet-style products. OpenFives broad industry
  expertise enables us to develop SoCs with a
  variety of processor cores, including RISC-V
  architecture as well as processors from Arm,
  Cadence, CEVA, and Synopsys.
• This ISA-agnostic and open approach will help
  accelerate the adoption of RISC-V in new designs,
  as chip designers look for the best IP for each
  functional block inside their SoC designs. The
  open, free RISC-V ISA is the basis for the SiFive
  Core IP portfolio the broadest inthe industry.
  SiFive cores, along with other RISC-V based
  cores, and cores from other ISAs, can make a
  heterogeneous mix of application, embedded, and
  microcontrollers to enable a modern
  domain-specific design.

• With a heritage and expertise spanning more than
  15 years, over 150M units shipped, and more than
  350 tape-outs, OpenFives end-to-endexpertise in
  Architecture, Design Implementation, Software,
  Silicon Validation and Manufacturing enables the
  design and delivery of high-quality silicon, with
  first-time-right results.
