Interface IP and Verification Key for AI SoC Success
A new white paper breaks down why specialized interface IP (think PCIe and CXL), hardware-software verification strategies, and virtual development tools are now must-haves for building complex AI-focused system-on-chips (SoCs) and multi-chip systems. With AI SoCs demanding more from every connection and memory interface, the piece outlines 10 steps to catch bugs sooner, speed development, and ensure everything actually works—before hardware hits manufacturing.
- AI SoCs push memory, compute, and connectivity to their limits
- Interface IP and protocol compliance now critical for performance
- Emulation and hardware prototyping catch issues before silicon
- Virtual platforms let teams develop hardware and software in parallel
