A UCIe case study.
The Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) 1.0 specification was announced in early 2022. A new updated UCIe 1.1 specification was released on August 8, 2023. The standardized open chiplet standard allows for heterogeneous integration of die-to-die link interconnects within the same package. The UCIe standard allows for advanced package and standard package options to tradeoff cost, bandwidth density, power, and performance. The standard also incorporates layered protocols, including the physical layer, the die-to-die adapter layer, and protocol layers. The rapid adoption of a standardized chiplet ecosystem targets the disaggregation of SoCs with advancement to a system-in-package (SiP). UCIe KPI metrics to meet demands for high bandwidth, low power, and low latency applications across emerging market segments such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, hyperscale, edge and cloud compute, and more.
This paper discusses the history of Cadence’s simulation interoperability between an Intel host and a Cadence IP, which has been key to deploying new and emerging technologies such as UCIe and CXL.
