2024 March
Full steam ahead!
During 2023 we have delivered IP-cores with IPSec, MACSec, NAT and a slew of TSN features. Now in 2024 we are building cores for our largest customer yet, a top tier networking company!
2022 July
First half of 2022
In the first half of 2022 we have had design wins for both new and repeat customers. We keep churning out the IP cores!
2021 December
2021 – A record year!
2021 has been a record year for PacketArc! We have reached new highs both in delivered ASIC and FPGA cores, and in new customer interest. So things are looking good for 2022 as well!
2021 April
ASIC design win!
The first quarter of 2021 saw us deliver the first of five ASIC cores to a new customer! The five cores span a range of bandwidths and feature sets for industrial, Enterprise, SOHO, and automotive applications.
2020 December
Activities second half of 2020
The second half of 2020 was interesting times, seeing us deliver aerospace cores to three new customers! One of the cores had multiple 100G ports in a mid-range FPGA. We also did our first foray into custom protocols, with cores for a high performance wireless chipset.
2020 August
Activities first half of 2020
Late 2019 and the first half of 2020 saw us fully occupied in customer projects, some of which panned out, and others that were torpedoed by the pandemic.
2019 September
Activities in 2019-Q3
This quarter we have focused on timing optimization and hierarchy restructuring to simplify floorplanning and P&R. Therefore there are no new, cool features released this quarter.
2019 June

2018 October
PacketArc IP is used to demonstrate multi-threaded simulation speed-up
The impressive open-source simulator Verilator now in version 4 supports multi-threading. The developer Wilson Snyder needed a large real-world design to benchmark the performance, and we were happy to give him an IP core to play with.
And it is looking good! See slides 17 and forward in the presentation from ORConf 2018:
Verilator 4.0: Open Simulation Goes Multithreaded
2017 August
Design win: High-performance L3/MPLS router
We are thrilled to announce that in our largest deal to date our IP will be used to produce a high-performance L3/MPLS router ASIC with multiple 100G Ethernet ports!
2016 September
