cessing power and save power
🟦 Honda and IBM start joint research to realize next-generation SDV!
Honda and IBM have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on long-term joint research and development to solve challenges such as processing power, power consumption, and increasing complexity of semiconductor designs to enable the next generation of software-defined vehicles (SDVs).
Specifically, we will consider joint research and development of the following technologies.
- Brain-inspired computing, chiplets, and other semiconductor technologies that aim to achieve both dramatic improvements in processing power and reduced power consumption
- Software technology aimed at improving product performance and shortening development time through co-optimization with hardware
- Open and flexible software solutions to better manage increasingly complex semiconductor designs
🟦SDV, processing power, power consumption, and design complexity are issues
From 2030 onwards, the use of intelligent/AI technologies is expected to accelerate significantly throughout society, and SDVs using these technologies are expected to become mainstream in mobility. Compared to conventional mobility, SDV is expected to dramatically increase the processing power required and the associated power consumption, as well as the complexity of semiconductor designs.
🟦Summary
Honda and IBM have launched a long-term joint R&D to solve challenges such as processing power, power consumption, and increasing complexity of semiconductor designs to realize the next generation of software-defined vehicles (SDVs).
Basically, it seems that development will proceed based on IBM’s technology infrastructure. We can only hope that there will be no problems with license fees in the future.
