[harlan4096]

The automotive industry is changing rapidly these days thanks to the influx of computing poweer, and it will continue to consume considerably more CPU and GPU horsepower in the coming years. As a result, it is not surprising that IP and hardware developers are increasingly tailoring offerings for the automotive industry. To that end, Imagination Technologies on Tuesday introduced its PowerVR Automotive package of IP aimed specifically at solutions for various vehicles. In fact, PowerVR Automotive is more like an initiative that will expand over time to include more offerings.

Imagination has been supplying various IP blocks for the automotive semiconductor industry for many years, so the company is clearly not a newbie here. Today, PowerVR IP — including 8XT high-performance GPU cores, energy-efficient 8XT/P GPU IP, and 2NX neural network accelerator IP — are used extensively for chips that power infotainment, digital cockpit, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Meanwhile, as demands from developers of SoCs for auto applications are growing, Imagination is rolling out its new portfolio of IP featuring enhancements specifically aimed at the automotive industry.
