Imagination Technologies has contributed its latest functionally safe GPU IP to the European CHASSIS program’s new Automotive Base Die, a 5nm chiplet project.
The contribution is the Imagination DXS GPU IP, a chiplet-ready, ASIL-B certified solution for automotive graphics and compute. It extends the Automotive Base Die’s capabilities for next-generation graphics-rich in-vehicle infotainment and cockpit workloads and offers a flexible co-processor option for AI-related tasks.
“Chiplets are reshaping automotive compute,” said Markus Mosen, Chief Executive Officer, Imagination Technologies. “By contributing to the Automotive Base Die, Imagination is ensuring that the open chiplet ecosystem can deliver the responsive displays and in-vehicle entertainment that OEMs want in their next generation of cars.”
The Automotive Base Die serves as the central communication and integration hub for automotive System-on-Chip (SoC) infrastructure. It is designed to enable seamless integration of third-party chiplets via the Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) standard.
The CHASSIS program is a three-year European research project coordinated by Bosch. It focuses on creating an open chiplet ecosystem for secure and scalable technology in software-defined mobility. The program is funded within the Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) and National Authorities under grant agreement 101252788, with leading participants including BMW, imec, and Bosch.
The Automotive Base Die aims to foster flexibility and innovation in the automotive industry by establishing a standardized, open chiplet-based platform. It supports early interoperability testing with other chiplets and accelerates European-centric design.
