3 A NEW MARKET REQUIRING NEW SOLUTIONS EXPLOSION OF REAL-TIME AND CONNECTED DATA REAL TIME EXTREME COMPUTING PROCESSOR FREQUENCY STALLED MANYCORE TECHNOLOGY Page 3

4 WHAT IS MANYCORE TECHNOLOGY? LEGACY MULTICORE MANYCORE 1 core on a single chip Up to 40 cores on a single chip No limits PARALLEL PROCESSING SINCE 2005, PROCESSOR FREQUENCY HAS STALLED AND CAN NO LONGER BE INCREASED. TO SECURE THE FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY, THE SEMICONDUCTOR WORLD HAS TURNED ITS ATTENTION TO THE MANYCORE APPROACH. Page 4

5 What will it take to get autonomous vehicles on the road? Page 5

6 AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES: FROM PROTOTYPING TO REALITY GROWTH OF ELECTRONICS IN CARS OVER THE YEARS AMOUNT OF ELECTRONICS IN CARS IS RISING Sensors and Data Management for Autonomous Vehicles (October 2015) "Sensor technologies are getting mature, but embedded data processing and management are still under construction, with players like Mobileye, nvidia, and Kalray providing advanced ECU challenging the established players. Page 6

7 ELECTRONICS IN AUTOMOBILES: LONG LEGACY, STEP-BY-STEP APPROACH CURRENT ELECTRONIC SYSTEM HARD TO EXTEND: ECU PROCESS ECU ECU ECU ECU PROCESS ECU ECU ECU ECU ECU Subsystem centric: Collection of localized ECU combining - Sensors - Processing units - Control functions Optimization based on domain but not on overall architecture Complex and diversify networks Software is also subdivided ECU Page 7

8 AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES: INGREDIENTS FOR SUCCESS The auto industry is facing a revolution, not just an evolution, with more computing power, more software & more robustness. AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS SECURITY SYSTEMS SENSING HIGHLY ROBUST AND EFFICIENT SURROUND SENSING DECISION-MAKING POWERFUL MACHINE LEAR-NING & CONTROL SYSTEMS COST- EFFICIENCY REDUCED SIZE, CON- SUMPTION & LIMITED # OF COMPONENTS SECURITY STRONG CYBER- SECURITY SYSTEM SAFETY CAR INDUSTRY COMPLIANCY ISO CERTIFICATION NETWORKING CONNEXTION INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY INTUITIVE HUMAN INTERFACE FOR USER COMFORT Page 8

9 AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES: A DATA CENTER ON WHEELS GLOBAL SYSTEM, SOFTWARE-CENTRIC Aggregate Electronic system in much simple system EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION - Reduce number of computer - Software centric - Ease integration and reduce introduction of new function Harmonize network - Robust and proven technology Overall system cost reduction Limited energy and system constraints MASTER ECU MASTER ECU ACCELERATOR HARDWARE SOFTWARE DOMAIN-CENTRIC OVERALL ARCHITECTURE Page 9

10 CHALLENGES : A SOFTWARE-DEFINED SYSTEM PARALLEL PROCESSING SENSOR FUSION POWER EFFICIENCY PREDICTABILITY SECURITY Multiple different applications running in parallel and in an isolated mode Aggregate a large number of sensors and support high data bandwidth High power efficiency gathering high compute capability on a single chip Time predictable and supports mix criticality Ethernet for network management and security OVERALL COST REDUCTION THANKS TO A SIMPLIFIED SYSTEM INFRASTRUCTURE Page 10

13 WHAT MAKES KALRAY ARCHITECTURE UNIQUE? # 1. BUILT FOR EXTREME COMPUTING Super computer architecture Kalray processor architecture Scalable architecture KALRAY HAS SUCCEEDED IN REPLICATING THE ARCHITECTURE OF A SUPER COMPUTER ON A SINGLE CHIP: KALRAY CAN ADD AS MANY CORES AS NEEDED ON A CHIP, BY ASSEMBLING THEM INTO CLUSTERS AND CREATING FLUID INTERCONNECTION AND RESSOURCE-SHARING BETWEEN CLUSTERS Page 13

14 WHY KALRAY ARCHITECTURE IS UNIQUE? #2 BUILT FOR REAL-TIME PERFORMANCE STANDARD MULTICORE MEMORY HIERARCHY NO PRIORITIZATION OF DATA ACCESS BOTTLENECKS KALRAY MPPA APPROACH GRANTS QUALITY OF SERVICE DATA TRAFFIC FLUID KALRAY PROVIDES THE ONLY ARCHITECTURE THAT GUARANTEES REAL-TIME PROCESSING AND LOW LATENCY As number of core grows, system becomes unpredictable No matter how many cores, system remains predictable Page 14

15 WHAT MAKES KALRAY ARCHITECTURE UNIQUE? # 3. BUILT FOR LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION Processor power consumption benchmark (pj per Instruction) Standard 64bits CPU GPU Standard 32 bits CPU Kalray 64 bits MPPA UP TO 10x LOWER POWER CONSUMPTION (1) Source: An Instruction Level Energy Characterization of ARM Processors, ARM Cortex, FORTH-ICS/TR-450, March 2015 (ARM Cortex A15 & ARM Cortex A7) (2) Source: Measured on Matrix Multiply EPI Test + Source Bill Dally, To ExaScale and Beyond Nvidia Page 15

16 WHAT MAKES KALRAY ARCHITECTURE UNIQUE? # 4 BUILT FOR PROGRAMMABILITY FAST TIME- TO-MARKET FULL FLEXIBILITY LEGACY- PROOF COMMUNITY COMPATIBLE New solutions built in weeks rather than years Update code in minutes No need to recode existing solutions Fast learning curve Uses open source tools Runs open source code Page 16
