Rhumbic is a  provider of System-on-Chip (NoC) technology, in terms of IP portfolio, of design tools, and of design services.

The Rhumbic  IP portfolio is a full solution to instantiate IPs, and comprises crucial blocks such as switches, bus protocol interfaces with support for multiple IP core protocols, links, frequency adapters, size adapters, etc. With this IP portfolio, it is possible to design IPs which feature optimal performance, save energy, and have a minimum area cost. Compared to traditional buses, Rhumbic IPs provide a scalable amount of bandwidth, feature a lower latency under congestion, and make physical design much easier, thanks to wire serialization and segmentation. Since the Rhumbic IP is synchronous, design flows are greatly simplified; several adaptors are provided to tackle multi-clock and GALS chips.

The Rhumbic IP tools bring designer productivity to a new level. Instead of tedious, time-consuming and sometimes non-converging exploration approaches, Rhumbic tools work the way designers need: given a high-level communication specification, they produce a set of alternatives from which the preferred point (e.g. lowest power, or best performance/area) can be chosen. This flow takes early into account design constraints, ensuring timing closure and reducing the designer effort even more.

Rhumbic is also a provider of design services.
