2026 Agenda

Processors in edge devices are continually being driven to meet ever increasing performance demands driven by the proliferation of AI at the edge, while the ease of rapidly porting ever larger software stacks is becoming paramount. To meet these challenges, Cadence introduces the Everest processor platform IP, designed specifically for AI system architects. It is built on a foundation of exceptional throughput for vector algorithms with the usability and versatility of a CPU. This talk will explore how Everest simplifies software development compared to classic DSPs, and the worldclass Tensilica instruction set extension and customization methodology.
