Andes Technology Corporation (TWSE: 6533), a leading provider of RISC-V processor IP, and proteanTecs, a global leader in health and performance monitoring solutions for advanced electronics, have announced a strategic partnership. This collaboration allows joint customers to seamlessly integrate proteanTecs’ on-chip monitoring IP into Andes’ RISC-V processor cores.
Customers utilizing this integration can leverage proteanTecs’ real-time analytics software to optimize performance, reduce power consumption, identify faults, and enhance overall system reliability during both production and the operational lifetime of their products.
To kick off their partnership, proteanTecs’ monitoring IP has been successfully integrated on the AndesCore™ AX45MPV, a 64-bit RISC-V multicore vector processor. This core, which features advanced RISC-V vector processing and parallel execution capabilities, has found application in numerous data-intensive applications, including AI inference and training, signal processing, and scientific computing since its release in 2022.
By pre-validating the IP integration, customers can streamline their design process using this licensed core, shortening development cycles and accelerating time-to-market.
“proteanTecs offers the industry’s most comprehensive and robust on-chip monitoring solutions,” said Dr. Charlie Su, CTO and President at Andes Technology. “As chip complexity increases, monitoring is paramount, especially in AI applications. proteanTecs’ deep data insights will empower our mutual customers to optimize their designs, improve their power/performance envelope, proactively prevent faults, and deliver superior products faster.”
This partnership reinforces the commitment of both Andes Technology and proteanTecs to advancing the RISC-V open standard. Forecasts suggest that over 16 billion RISC-V-based SoC units will be shipped annually by 2030.
Both Andes Technology and proteanTecs are active members of RISC-V International, the global non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). Andes is a founding Premier member, while proteanTecs holds a Strategic Member status.
“With the rapid growth of high-performance applications, high compute density and advanced packaging technologies—especially in evolving AI models and workloads—on-chip monitoring is no longer a luxury, but a necessity,” stated Uzi Baruch, Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) at proteanTecs. “Partnering with Andes Technology—a key player in the RISC-V ecosystem and AI core development—brings the value of proteanTecs’ solutions to a wider range of SoC devices. These benefits extend beyond production into the field, with real-time monitoring applications that enable proactive fault prevention and the unique ability to reduce power and increase performance in mission-mode.”
Andes and proteanTecs plan to discuss their collaborative efforts at upcoming RISC-V events. Interested parties can reach out to marketing@proteantecs.com for additional information and relevant deliverables.
