Automotive
An Industry in Transition
The automotive industry is transitioning from mechanical systems comprised of many small controllers to complex electronic computing systems. The systems at the heart of these next-generation automobiles can have over 100 million lines of code – 10 times more than the most advanced flight jets.
This transition is accelerating, with more innovation in the past decade than we saw in the previous 50 years combined. This innovation is making cars more connected and more autonomous. It is also making them safer, with the majority of cars entering the road today equipped with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems).
MIPS Solutions for Automotive
MIPS is playing a major role in the automotive industry transition, enabling systems as they move from 8-bit controllers to centralized 64-bit compute machines. MIPS-based solutions today are prolific across ADAS, automotive connectivity, infotainment, microcontrollers (MCUs) for power-train applications, and other in-vehicle systems.
To address the growing complexity of these systems while keeping costs down and ensuring the longest possible battery life, what’s needed is a combination of high-performance, highly efficient processing with industry-leading safety features. A challenge is how to provide the needed high performance and redundancy needed for these computationally intensive, safety critical systems, while ensuring efficient processing, which is especially important for electric vehicles.
MIPS’ new eVocore RISC-V CPUs overcome this challenge, providing the needed combination of high performance, efficiency and safety needed for these systems through a unique combination of technologies. Within eVocore CPUs, multi-threading enhances performance efficiency, a coherent fabric optimizes data movement to different compute engines, and multi-cluster support provides a high level of system scalability.
MIPS also provides robust functional safety capabilities for ISO 26262 ASIL-B(D) and ASIL-D systems, taking advantage of ‘Safety Element out-of-Context (SEooC)’ that reduces time to market and can provide the true redundancy needed for safety critical systems.
