Automotive
Enabling software-defined architectures for autonomy and electrification with safety-native platforms.
Vehicles are evolving into software-defined platforms that are built on complex, safety-critical systems. Electrification is driving demand for specialized power-management to support battery systems while advanced driver-assistance systems are pushing automakers toward safety-certified IP that can speed development without compromising reliability. RISC-V cores are gaining significant traction for their flexibility and customization potential, particularly as automakers require open standards for differentiated designs.
Automotive OEMs and Tier 1s must adhere to strict parameters and need solutions designed with these requirements in mind:
- Functional Safety and Reliability: Safe and predictable vehicle operation under all conditions
- Software-Defined Vehicle Complexity: Managing increasing software, AI, connectivity, and over-the-air updates
- Cybersecurity and Regulatory Compliance: Protection from cyber threats and compliance with evolving global regulations
- Cost, Performance, and Time-to-Market: Delivering advanced capabilities such as ADAS, AI, and electrification within tight cost and time to market budgets
MIPS is well positioned to address these areas with its AI-native, safety-native portfolio of software-first platforms
Use Cases
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
MIPS delivers highly efficient data movement to support multiple high-speed and high-resolution sensors that need to be processed with very low latencies.
- 40% higher system throughput and efficiency for data movement intensive workloads (like ADAS L2/L3 Systems)
- Lower SOC or Chip power and SOC or Chip size area compared to other solutions – due to architecture built for automotive end applications
- Scalable from low end to high end systems with configurable multi-core and multi-cluster designs
Mobileye: Supporting multiple generations of EyeQ platforms from EyeQ2 to EyeQ6.
Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV)
The new paradigm of software-first, Over the Air (OTA) updates requires a change in the design and architecture of the underlying electronic components that power the Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs) of the future.
- Both hardware and software co-design to providing a digital twin to test and validate new features post deployment
- Compute solutions need to provide not only the performance, efficiency and scalability needed for these advanced systems but also need to provide the headroom and flexibility to enable these SDVs
- MIPS Atlas platforms provides the best compute density and solutions for these SDVs of the future
