Discover the Ultimate Network-on-Chip Configuration Tool!

SignatureIP, a leading provider of semiconductor intellectual property (IP), is now offering a trial of its innovative processor agnostic network-on-chip (NoC) configuration software. The software, called iNoCulator, is designed to help engineers find the optimal NoC configuration quickly and easily. According to SignatureIP, iNoCulator is the fastest tool of its kind on the market.

This try-before-you-buy offer allows engineers to experience firsthand how simple and efficient it is to design a NoC using iNoCulator. By simulating different configurations of the system-on-chip (SoC) architecture, engineers can evaluate factors such as throughput, latency, power, performance, area, and timing targets. The tool then generates possible topologies that can be customized to find the best solution for the specific design requirements.

iNoCulator supports various types of NoC configurations, including ring, mesh, concentrated mesh, and torus topologies. It also offers support for popular interface protocols such as AXI, AHB, APB, and SRAM. Additionally, it allows seamless integration with on-chip IP blocks like PCIe, CXL, and AI acceleration.

One of the key features of iNoCulator is its ability to handle multiple clocking schemes, including globally asynchronous locally synchronous (GALS) designs. It also provides powerisland generation and supports the unified power format (UPF) output. SignatureIP claims that the software creates a layered, scalable, and physically-aware network.

The generated RTL (register-transfer level) code can be targeted towards an SoC design flow or an FPGA emulation flow, providing flexibility for different design methodologies. With an annual subscription license, engineers can explore various architectural designs without limitations. The license also grants access to all aspects of the tool and allows users to download the RTL of the final design for a fee per design download.
