Designed for automotive and embedded applications, the I8500 Multiprocessor is built to leverage advanced multi-threading technology, allowing it to support intense parallel processing with maximum efficiency. It features up to 4-way simultaneous multithreading within a triple-issue in-order design, offering users freedom from traditional architecture constraints. Like the P8700 Series, it can support configurations with up to 8 cores per cluster, meeting the rigorous demands of modern compute-intensive applications.
The I8500 Multiprocessor excels in delivering real-time data responsiveness and deterministic processing across various heterogeneous computing elements. This is achieved by its robust RISC-V-based design, optimized for power efficiency while maintaining high performance boundaries. Suitable for safety-critical automotive applications, it aligns with ASIL B and ISO 26262 standards, ensuring reliability and safety in environments that necessitate stringent safety certifications.
Customization and scalability are at the heart of the I8500’s architecture, allowing developers to enhance system throughput and integrate seamlessly with other processing elements and subsystems. This makes the processor ideal for both high-performance and low-powered applications, extending its usability to a wide range of industry scenarios. Its compatibility with existing RISC-V ecosystems further ensures broad-based support and flexibility in application.
