December 4th, 2024 – Silicon Valley, CA – Tenstorrent and Ashling announce a major advancement in SoC development, targeting software bring up and removing debug bottlenecks to accelerate development cycles. With the growing complexity of SoCs, Tenstorrent, in collaboration with Ashling, is tackling the significant bottleneck of SoC software and hardware bring up and debug times. Traditionally, initial software bring up has depended heavily on test chips, requiring either silicon or FPGA prototypes. Our joint approach enables parallel software bring up alongside hardware design using both Simulation and/or Emulation platforms. This shift eliminates the dependency on physical hardware, reducing both cost and time, and accelerating development cycles.
