Friday, May 30, 2025
End-to-End ASIC Partnership to Accelerate Global Supercomputing Market with Open-Standard, Energy-Efficient Silicon
READING, United Kingdom, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Aion Silicon (formerly Sondrel), a leading ASIC and SoC architecture partner, today announced it has secured a $12 million engagement to provide comprehensive design services for a confidential customer developing next-generation RISC-V-based accelerators for high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI).
The multi-year program leverages Aion Silicon's two decades of SoC expertise to help the customer introduce disruptive, energy-efficient processors that target the most compute-intensive workloads in data centers and scientific research worldwide.
Under the agreement, Aion Silicon will deliver the full spectrum of design work--from RTL architecture and verification through Design for Test, physical implementation, and tape-out--on a bleeding edge node RISC-V platform.
"The global HPC race demands accelerators that deliver extreme performance per watt," said Oliver Jones, CEO of Aion Silicon. "This project shows how our team can turn bold RISC-V architectures into manufacturable silicon that challenges the dominance of proprietary solutions."
Engagement Details
-- End-to-end expertise -- Complete RTL architecture, verification, Design
for Test, physical implementation, and tape-out on a bleeding edge node
RISC-V platform
-- On-site collaboration -- A dedicated team of Aion Silicon engineers
willwork alongside the customer's team to accelerate knowledge transfer
and project velocity
-- Standards-based innovation -- Open instruction-set architecture and
vector extensions eliminate proprietary lock-in and speed customization
