6 terms

network-on-chip technical

"Arteris FlexGen network-on-chip (NoC) IP and Magillem software solutions"

A network-on-chip is the internal communication system that links many small processing and memory blocks inside a single computer chip, acting like a miniature road network that routes data between components. For investors, it matters because the design affects a chip’s speed, energy use, and ability to scale to more features—factors that influence product performance, manufacturing cost and the competitiveness of devices that use the chip.

noc technical

"Arteris FlexGen smart NoC IP and Magillem SoC integration automation software"

A Notice of Compliance (NOC) is an official regulatory approval that allows a drug or medical product to be marketed and sold after authorities determine it meets required safety, effectiveness and manufacturing standards. For investors it is a pivotal milestone—like a green light from regulators—that can turn a research project into a revenue-generating product, reduce regulatory risk and materially affect a company’s sales prospects and valuation.

risc-v technical

"MIPS-based high-performance, RISC-V platforms spanning automotive, embedded, and robotics"

A royalty-free, open instruction set architecture (ISA) that acts like a blueprint for how a computer’s brain understands and executes commands. Because it is not owned by a single company and can be freely implemented and customized, RISC‑V can lower licensing costs, speed product development, and encourage competition and supply-chain diversification—factors investors watch because they affect margins, market share, and the pace of innovation in chips and devices.

adas technical

"including automotive microcontroller units (MCUs) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)"

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are electronic systems in vehicles that assist the driver with safety tasks. Examples include automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. These systems use sensors and cameras to improve vehicle safety.

soc technical

"Magillem SoC integration automation software to help accelerate the development"

Standard of care (often abbreviated SOC) is the treatment or management approach that is widely accepted and used by medical professionals for a particular disease or condition. For investors, SOC provides the benchmark against which new therapies, devices, or clinical results are judged—like comparing a new car to the current most popular model; a product that meaningfully outperforms the SOC can win market share and drive revenue, while failure to beat or match it limits commercial potential.

chiplets technical

"Arteris enables the underlying AI data movement in chiplets, SoCs and MCUs"

Small, individual semiconductor components that are manufactured separately and then combined into a single package to perform the function of a larger chip. Like using Lego bricks instead of carving one big block, chiplets let designers mix and match proven parts to reduce cost, shorten development time, improve manufacturing yields and enable upgrades; investors watch them because they can lower production risk, boost product competitiveness and affect profit margins across the semiconductor supply chain.
