Baya Systems, a leader in system IP technology that empowers the acceleration of intelligent computing, announced it has raised over $36 million in a Series B round led by Maverick Silicon, backed by a strategic investment from Synopsys, with current investors such as Matrix Partners and Intel Capital reinvesting into the company. And this funding round will support operational growth, accelerating the development and deployment of the company’s software-driven system IP technology portfolio for system-on-chip (SoC) designs and the emerging chiplet economy.
With intelligent computing continuing to grow, its demands for AI capabilities, more efficient data movement and compute density are driving the evolution of SoCs into “system-of-chips” models. By using chipsets, this new approach offers scalable performance, optimized power, and reduced costs without relying solely on traditional methods, where further advances have been slow and are growing more expensive.
Baya offers modular solutions designed to adapt to changing needs and take advantage of these benefits for next-gen designs for AI, automotive, and data center infrastructure—while also complying with emerging standards like Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink) die-to-die interconnect for further accelerated AI scaling.
To better support AI and other compute-heavy and data-intensive applications, Baya offers a holistic approach to design, analyze,e and build complex, highly performant multi-die systems that overcome traditional semiconductors’ bottlenecks of data movement and scalability.
Baya’s foundational WeaverPro software enables continuous refinement of data-driven architecture and micro-architecture development from initial specification through post-silicon tuning, with built-in simulation and workload analysis that ensures the design delivers on KPIs. The comprehensive WeaveIP advanced system IP portfolio, with unique transport, supports custom and standard protocols, maximizes performance and throughput while minimizing latency, silicon footprint, and power, and rapidly delivers complex solutions.
With a team of entrepreneurial leaders and engineers from companies like Apple, AMD, Arm, Intel, Qualcomm, and legendary microprocessor architect Jim Keller as the Chairman of the Board, Baya has rapidly emerged out of stealth, delivered its flagship product to make,t and is now positioned to grow its market share.
KEY QUOTES:
“Generative AI and multimodal compute have clearly shown that the real challenge has transitioned from compute engines to data movement and connectivity to truly deliver on the performance and efficiency needs of AI acceleration and scale compute infrastructure and communications. The team at Baya Systems is uniquely positioned to fill this critical gap in the industry with its WeaverPro, WeaveIP and other solutions.”
– Andrew Homan, Managing Director at Maverick Silicon
“Baya Systems has executed ahead of schedule on building the team, the technology and the products that deliver on its vision to solve the high-performance system design challenge for the semiconductor industry. This has uncovered a much larger scope for the company, and in our view, this new infusion of capital is necessary to extend leadership and capitalize on that opportunity.”
– Stan Reiss, general partner, Matrix Partners
“Designing increasingly complex combinations of CPUs, GPUs, neural network accelerators and other processors is a brute-force solution that the industry cannot rely on forever. It simply comes with too many risks: high re-engineering costs, difficulty scaling and potentially hitting the market with sub-par metrics. Baya’s performance-focused, software-based approach, coupled with our unique transport and modular fabric IP, is designed from the ground up to produce complex multi-die solutions that are correct by construction with a simplified design process.”
