ACI for Design Modification

Evolve existing designs with precision

Ingest, analyze, and understand existing design repositories. Perform targeted updates to specifications, modify capabilities, and improve targeted objectives — all with ACI-powered intelligence.

Logic designers, microarchitects, verification engineers — and more. Evolve existing designs without starting from scratch.

Your IP is your company’s ‘Alpha’. Let’s maximize it.

As a logic designer, Greg turns proven silicon into new derivatives — next-gen variants, cost-reduced SKUs, market-specific spins. Value comes from extending what works, not starting fresh. Yet every change ripples across specs, RTL, and testbenches, so he must converge fast without breaking the design.

With Cognichip ACI, the model understands his codebase and turns legacy RTL into structured specs. Greg makes surgical updates without disrupting the design — specs, RTL, and testbenches propagate in lockstep. He integrates IP with automated interface matching and verification, recentering PPA across the platform pareto.

For the company, derivative design shifts from a months-long risk to a fast, repeatable advantage — more variants shipped sooner, with fewer regressions.

Artificial Chip Intelligence ACI™ holds a living model of your entire repository, so every modification ripples through dependencies, interfaces, and verification automatically — no re-learning, no manual propagation.

What you can do

ACI transforms how you approach design modifications — from manual analysis to AI-powered precision.

1

Design Repository Ingestion

Ingest, analyze, and understand existing design repositories. ACI builds a comprehensive understanding of your codebase, identifying dependencies, interfaces, and architectural patterns.

2

Targeted Spec Updates

Perform targeted updates to specifications to support new features, modify capabilities, or improve targeted objectives without disrupting the broader design.

3

Incremental RTL & Testbench Updates

Incrementally update specs, RTL, and testbenches in lockstep. Changes propagate automatically across all design artifacts, maintaining consistency.

4

IP Integration from Knowledge Inventories

Integrate IP from knowledge inventories with intelligent interface matching, protocol adaptation, and automated verification of integration correctness.

See it in action

Describe the change. Watch it land.

Greg hands Cognichip a legacy spec; it finds the defects, restructures the section that matters, and validates the whole design — then opens the report right in the chat.
