Subject: Concept to Tapeout in 4 months: Case study of InCore SoC Generator Platform
Abstract:
The InCore SoC Generator is an automated platform that accelerates custom chip development by transforming SoC specifications into fully integrated, synthesizable RTL within minutes.
It automates IP integration, interconnect creation, software collateral, basic verification, and documentation.
This helps SoC teams with rapid design-space exploration, reduced development costs, faster time-to-silicon.
This talk is a case study of how InCore's customer was able to tape-out a custom chip from scratch in four months, using the SoC Generator platform.
Target Audience: SoC Architects and frontend design engineers from fabless chip companies
