The cockpit computing platform is centralized, and the software and hardware of each component of the cockpit can be developed separately. Automotive electronic and electrical architecture innovation, from distributed architecture to domain controller architecture, the past decentralized edge computing began to centralize, and gradually formed the cockpit domain controller scheme. Under the new scheme (cabin domain controller & domain centralized), the control calculation of each hardware is centralized on the same SoC chip, and different operating systems can also run on the same hardware computing chip under the support of virtual machines. Computing hardware is no longer tied to hardware and software, and the development process becomes more flexible. The application of SoC chip at vehicle level solves the problem of insufficient computing power and incompatibility encountered by the traditional on-board chip MCU in the intelligent cabin. An SoC is a system-level chip. In addition to CPU, a chip also integrates GPU, RAM, ADC/DAC, Modem, high-speed DSP and so on.
In terms of computing power, the CPU computing power of the SoC chip has increased from several KDMIPS (used to measure integer computing power, the number of instructions that can be executed per second) to more than 100 KDMIPS; Integrated GPU greatly improves the ability to process unstructured data such as videos and pictures to meet the needs of high-end intelligent cockpit systems for in-car entertainment; The integration of NPU greatly improves the efficiency of AI computing, and can meet the requirements of intelligent interactive experience in the intelligent cabin.
