Arm this week introduced its Arm Total Design initiative, which is aimed at accelerating development of custom datacenter-oriented system-on-chip (SoC) designs using Neoverse Compute Subsystems (CSS). The collaborative ecosystem unites various developers in a bid to speed up time-to-market and reduce development costs of custom SoCs for AI, cloud, and high-performance computing markets. ATD promises to enable development of datacenter processors that will offer formidable competition for x86 CPUs. The Arm Total Design ecosystem is a conglomerate of ASIC design houses, IP vendors, EDA tool providers, foundries, and firmware developers that is aimed to facilitate rapid and cost-efficient delivery of custom silicon for datacenters based on Arm Neoverse cores for AI, HPC, cloud, and networking workloads. The ecosystem provides preferential access to Neoverse CSS to...
