For application scenarios of intensive computing and complex data processing, engineers are empowered to freely explore computing architecture, optimize PPA, and quickly converge to the best design. This tool can be widely used to customize processor solutions for vision, AI, communications, audio, DPU, industrial control and other fields, helping chip design companies to develop their own IP efficiently. The embedded DSA design paradigm for rich application scenarios facilitates customers to quickly integrate, optimize and verify DSA processors, break through the upper limit of traditional IP energy efficiency, and adapt to the continuous iteration of algorithms and products at lower costs.

Technological innovation—design parallelism and reduce decision-making risks

The traditional design process must proceed step by step from algorithm function splitting, architecture design, coding performance optimization to application layer function verification. The function of the chip must be defined in the early stage of the algorithm, and modification is difficult. FARMStudio can make architecture and software and hardware implementation decisions based entirely on determined functional designs, verification results and PPA data, minimizing the uncertainty and risks faced by decision-making, and the softwareization of hardware design can solve difficult-to-modify problems in chip design. . In the end, the hardware design is rapidly iterated and implemented with the best PPA to enhance chip competitiveness.

1. The world's first multi-level verification technology, using C language to achieve rapid chip design, fully ensuring the correctness and consistency from C language to RTL

2. Based on the design template, the DSA processor and supporting tool chain are automatically generated in minutes.

3. Reuse custom instructions and prefabricated instruction resources to obtain the DSA processor that best meets specific needs.

4. Support configurable SIMD bit width, VLIW and deep pipeline, improve instruction parallelism and hardware usage efficiency, and ultimately achieve a significant improvement in complex instruction calculation efficiency

5. The automatically generated compiler can automatically complete soft pipelining, loop expansion, VLIW instruction packaging, etc., maximizing the hardware advantages.

Main application scenarios: AI, audio, communications, industrial control, Internet, computer vision

DSP is a typical example in the current chip market. The FARM design methodology is used to refine the algorithm requirements of typical application scenarios and focus on different application directions to provide flexible optional components to accelerate the design, development and verification process of DSP. This also includes dedicated acceleration instructions, which can significantly improve performance and resource utilization based on a powerful compiler. Compared with existing traditional DSP IP, it can achieve more extreme performance with less area and power consumption and smaller code size.
