What you’ll learn:

Why network-on-chips (NoCs) are needed for complex system-on-chips (SoCs).
The aspects of NoC design that create challenges.

Today’s system-on-chips (SoCs) are very complex. They have multiple cores and often these cores vary in type, e.g., CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs. Connecting these to peripherals and memory typically involves one or more network-on-chips (NoCs).

In this podcast, Electronic Design Editor Bill Wong talks with Andy Nightingale, VP Product Management and Marketing at Arteris, about NoCs.
