Arteris, Inc. is a multinational technology firm that develops the on-chip interconnect fabric technology used in System-on-Chip (SoC) semiconductor designs for a variety of devices, particularly in mobile and consumer markets.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://finance.yahoo.com/news/arteris-president-ceo-k-charles-130000912.html )〕 The company specializes in the development and distribution of Network-on-Chip (NoC) interconnect Intellectual Property (IP) solutions.〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.carbondesignsystems.com/Portals/142895/docs/Carbon_Arteris_provide_SoC_Interface_SoC_Virtual_Prototype.pdf )〕 It is best known for its flagship product, Arteris FlexNoC, which is used in more than 60 percent of mobile and wireless SoC designs.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.thomasnet.com/companystory/Arteris-FlexNoC-Network-on-Chip-Technology-Designed-into-Majority-of-Mobile-SoCs-20009449 )〕 Arteris, Inc. is headquartered in Campbell, California.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eejournal.com/archives/news/20130129_08/ )〕 K. Charles Janac is the company’s President and CEO.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.chipestimate.com/dac2009/presentations/arteris.pdf )〕 In 2012, the Silicon Valley ''San Jose Business Journal'' ranked Arteris as the 4th fastest-growing private company in Silicon Valley.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/print-edition/2012/10/12/the-list-top-75-fastest-growing.html )〕 Arteris has also been in the Inc. 500 list of America’s fastest growing companies for two years running.〔 ==History== Arteris was founded in 2003 by Philippe Boucard and two other engineering executives who had worked together at T.Sqware, a startup that was acquired by Globespan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.semiwiki.com/forum/showwiki.php?title=Arteris:Arteris )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.arteris.com/products )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://corporama.com/fr/societe/arteris/444681407 )〕 Company executives wished to address problems with existing monolithic bus and crossbar interconnect technologies, such as wire and routing congestion, increased heat and power consumption, failed timing closure, and increased die area.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.crunchbase.com/company/arteris )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.arm.com/community/partners/display_company/rw/company/arteris/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.linkedin.com/company/arteris )〕 The firm’s leadership sought and received venture capital totaling $44.1 million for the creation of its new technology from investors, including ARM Holdings, Crescendo Ventures, DoCoMo Capital, Qualcomm, Synopsys, TVM Capital, and Ventech.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eejournal.com/archives/news/20120308-06/ )〕 By 2006, Arteris developed the first commercially available NoC IP product, called NoC Solution, followed in 2009 by a more advanced product, FlexNoC.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tvm-capital-technology.com/portfolio/arteris/ )〕 The products used “packetization and a distributed network of small interconnect elements to address congestion, timing, power and performance issues.”〔 Arteris marketed FlexNoC as an improvement on traditional SoCs interconnect fabrics, citing its reduction in gate count by 30 percent, reduction of wires by 50 percent, and a more compact chip floor as compared to a functionally equivalent hybrid bus or crossbar.〔〔 Designers of SoCs began to take advantage of the technology’s increased design efficiency, flexibility, and a significant reduction in production costs.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eejournal.com/archives/news/20120229-06/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eejournal.com/archives/news/20120215-06/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eejournal.com/archives/news/20110314-01/ )〕 By 2012, the company had over 40 semiconductor customers, including Qualcomm, Samsung, Texas Instruments, Toshiba, and LG Electronics, with 200 million SoCs being produced with Arteris IP.〔 The company’s volume is projected to grow to over 1 billion units per year by 2015.〔 In October 2013, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. acquired the FlexNoC network-on-chip product portfolio, but Arteris retained existing customer contracts and to continue licensing FlexNoC and modifying the source code for customer support. Qualcomm will provide engineering deliverables for the FlexNoC product line and updates to Arteris. Qualcomm does not maintain any ownership interest in Arteris.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Certain Arteris Technology Assets Acquired )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Qualcomm acquires Arteris' NoC tech assets, team )〕 In February 2014, Arteris named Craig Forrest as Chief Technology Officer, Dave Parry as Vice President of Engineering, and Benoit de Lescure as Director of Application Engineering.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Arteris Recruits World-Class Engineering Leadership Team )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arteris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
