Baya Systems, a pioneer in system IP technology, has secured over $36 million in its Series B funding round. Led by Maverick Silicon and supported by a strategic investment from Synopsys, this round also saw current investors like Matrix Partners and Intel Capital reinvest. This funding will fuel the growth of Baya’s software-driven system IP technology for system-on-chip (SoC) designs, particularly as the chiplet economy expands.
As intelligent computing evolves, there’s a growing need for AI capabilities, efficient data movement, and improved compute density. This shift is prompting a transformation in SoC designs toward “system-of-chips” models. These models utilize chipsets to provide better performance, power efficiency, and lower costs, moving away from traditional methods that have become costly and slow to innovate.
Baya focuses on modular solutions that adapt to the evolving needs of next-gen designs, especially in AI, automotive, and data center sectors. Their technologies align with upcoming standards like Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink) die-to-die interconnect, which is crucial for scaling AI capabilities.
To address the demands of AI and data-intensive tasks, Baya adopts a comprehensive design approach. They simplify the creation of complex multi-die systems while tackling issues like data movement bottlenecks and scalability limits found in traditional semiconductors.
Baya’s core software, WeaverPro, allows for ongoing improvements in data architecture and micro-architecture. From the initial design phase to post-silicon adjustments, it incorporates simulation and analysis tools to ensure that projects meet key performance indicators (KPIs). Meanwhile, their WeaveIP portfolio supports both custom and standard protocols to optimize performance and efficiency.
Baya is led by a talented team, including experts from major companies like Apple, AMD, and Intel, with microprocessor architect Jim Keller as Chairman of the Board. They have quickly moved out of stealth mode and launched their flagship product, positioning themselves for significant market growth.
