Qualifying an AI-class RISC-V SoC demands proving that wide vectors, deep caches, and high-speed I/O operate flawlessly long before tape-out. At the recent Andes RISC-V Conference, Andes Technology and S2C showcased this by successfully booting a lightweight large language model (LLM) inference on a single S2C Prodigy™ S8-100… Read More
The RISC-V ecosystem is witnessing remarkable growth, driven by increasing industry adoption and a thriving open-source community. As companies and developers seek customizable computing solutions, RISC-V has become a top choice. Providing a scalable and cost-effective ISA foundation, RISC-V enables high-performance… Read More
The tech world is sprinting toward a future where your fridge orders groceries, your car avoids traffic before you hit it, and security cameras don’t just watch—they understand. But behind these innovations lies a messy truth: building the brains for these smart systems is complicated.
