GENESIS: A New Design-Ethos
Envision a future where integrated circuits are not static products of a lengthy, costly, and environmentally intensive design and fabrication cycle, but dynamic, living systems that self-correct, self-evolve, and self-improve after deployment.
Sustainable Electronics
GENESIS tackles long-term challenges in environmental sustainability, economic efficiency, and scientific advancement by significantly reducing the need for repeated chip tape-outs—while keeping training and compute emissions marginal, with energy and CO₂ use estimated to be up to 300 times lower than that of a single advanced-node tape-out.
Reduced R&D costs through closed-loop automation.
Eliminating Redundant Design-Test Cycles, GENESIS integrates closed-loop feedback between design, measurement, and model refinement, allowing chips to autonomously evolve based on in-field or lab feedback. This drastically reduces the need for multiple design iterations, tapeouts, and re-characterizations — a primary cost driver in hardware R&D.
Genesis – PostFab Evolution
The traditional semiconductor design flow:
– Ends at tapeout,
– Resulting in static artifacts degrading over time,
– With increasing complexity, aging effects, environmental variability, and performance demands, the limitations of this static model are becoming critical.
Disruptive shift: a cloud-connected, real-time evolutionary system where circuits learn, adapt, and self-heal after deployment — minimizing human intervention.
