Physical AI is the ability for machines to sense their environment, think locally, act safely, and communicate quickly without waiting on the cloud. In safety-critical scenarios like driver assistance or industrial robotics, milliseconds matter. That’s why MIPS’ edge-first approach focuses on ultra-low latency, low power, and cost-efficient inference delivered by its Atlas portfolio—and specifically the […]

Driving RISC-V Application Cores into Automotive and Industrial MIPS, a GlobalFoundries company, offers processor IP, software, tools, and custom silicon platforms for advancing the next wave of physical AI. The adoption of AI into autonomous automotive and industrial platforms is transforming manufacturing, transportation and services, enhancing everyday life around the world. Functional safety systems are

Today marks a bold new chapter for MIPS as we enter into a definitive agreement to be acquired by GlobalFoundries (GF). This strategic move validates our product vision and accelerates our mission to power the next generation of intelligent, real-time compute platforms. For over 40 years, MIPS has led RISC-based innovation, from our early role

Building innovative new products requires a detailed and comprehensive understanding of the target use cases. Building a visionary new platform with cutting-edge capabilities at the right time can deliver market success, capturing the value of emerging markets such as physical AI and sovereign manufacturing initiatives.

Autonomous platforms sense the world around them with a variety of inputs, from radar, lidar, and cameras, to gyroscopes, accelerometers, and atmospheric sensors. These sensors are rapidly increasing in fidelity with more resolution, color depth, accuracy, and increased sampling periods generating exponentially more data. Fusing this data together, establishing priorities and the right data formats,

The age of physical AI is approaching, taking the virtual world of digital twins and move it into the physical world of autonomous platforms that can understand the world around them and make decisions, and quickly adapt to new tasks. Today’s robots specialize in narrowly defined tasks, built for simple automation of repetitive behavior. The

The advent of physical AI promises to deliver autonomous platforms that are more able to operate in the changing world around them. Decisions made by the physical AI models need to be enacted by robots that move in a safe, precise manner. With physical AI models using reinforcement learning to understand the world, the next-generation

For years, the industry has advocated for “shifting left” in software development. This methodology allows software teams to begin their work earlier, leveraging virtual platforms for algorithm and application development. By aligning hardware and software teams from the start, the process becomes more efficient, catching specification vagaries early. Instead of waiting for hardware to be

Introduction The rise of AI has unleashed an insatiable demand for faster, smarter, and more scalable data center networks. As GPUs and accelerators become the backbone of AI training and inference, traditional network designs struggle to keep up with the explosive growth in data and computational intensity. The network is no longer just for connectivity
