Simultaneous Multi-Threading: Needed for Accelerated Heterogenous Compute and Low-Latency Data Processing

Join processor IP experts from AKEANA as they explore why Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) is becoming essential for next-generation SoC designs across AI, automotive, datacenter, and edge applications. This session unpacks how SMT can unlock higher compute density, better throughput, and smarter resource utilization; without the overhead of new architectures or costly licensing.

The Akeana 1000 Series is the midrange of Akeana’s three processor product lines, offering customers one of the broadest available processor IP portfolios. Start your journey today with one or more of these Akeana processors.

Introducing the Akeana 5000 Series Processors

The Akeana 5000 Series of processors is highly configurable and customizable, supporting applications such as mobile computation, data center, and cloud networking. The Akeana 5000 Series is optimized to give industry-leading performance, is capable of supporting rich-OS (e.g. Android, Linux) application computation, and has the ability to scale to hundreds of coherent processors.

Leveraging RISC-V as a Unified, Heterogeneous Platform for Next-Gen AI Chips

The demand for high-performance AI computation is reshaping the semiconductor industry, requiring innovative solutions that optimize performance, power efficiency, and flexibility. RISC-V, an open-source instruction set architecture (ISA), has emerged as a key enabler for next-generation AI chips by providing a unified framework for both hardware and software.

Akeana Exits Stealth Mode

Akeana™, the company committed to driving dramatic change in semiconductor IP innovation and performance, has announced its official company launch approximately three years after its foundation, having raised over $100 million in capital, with support from A-list investors including Kleiner Perkins, Mayfield, and Fidelity. Today's launch marks the formal availability of the company's expansive line of IP solutions.

Akeana Processor Security Domain Support

Akeana extends the concept of two security domains (“worlds”, Non-Secure and Secure) into Non-Secure worlds plus many independent Secure Worlds. The NS bit is retained to indicate Secure vs. Non-Secure, but many Secure (and Non-Secure worlds) are available. The various Worlds are differentiated by individual World ID (WID) values.
