Flynn Was Right: How a 2003 Warning Foretold Today’s Architectural Pivot

Flynn Was Right: How a 2003 Warning Foretold Today’s Architectural Pivot
by Jonah McLeod on 06-24-2025 at 10:00 am

Table 1

In 2003, legendary computer architect Michael J. Flynn issued a warning that most of the industry wasn’t ready to hear. The relentless march toward more complex CPUs—with speculative execution, deep pipelines, and bloated instruction handling—was becoming unsustainable. In a paper titled “Computer Architecture … Read More

Voice as a Feature

When Apple introduced Siri in 2011, it was the first serious attempt to make voice interaction a mainstream user interface. Embedded into the iPhone 4S, Siri brought voice into consumers’ lives not as a standalone product, but as a built-in feature—a hands-free way to interact with an existing device. Siri set the expectation… Read More

Leveraging Common Weakness Enumeration (CWEs) for Enhanced RISC-V CPU Security
by Kalar Rajendiran on 05-13-2025 at 6:00 am

Information Flow Analysis Cycuity's Unique Approach

As RISC-V adoption accelerates across the semiconductor industry, so do the concerns about hardware security vulnerabilities that arise from its open and highly customizable nature. From hardware to firmware and operating systems, every layer of a system-on-chip (SoC) design must be scrutinized for security risks. Unlike… Read More


RISC-V Virtualization and the Complexity of MMUs

RISC-V Virtualization and the Complexity of MMUs
by Bernard Murphy on 05-08-2025 at 7:00 am

Virtual memory mapping

In the early days of RISC-V adoption, applications were microcontroller-centric with no need for virtualization support. But horizons expanded and now RISC-V is appearing in application processors, very much needing to be able to virtualize multiple apps concurrently. Take another step forward to datacenter servers running… Read More

Email blast header

RISC-V conferences have been at full capacity and I expect this one will be well attended as well. Andes is the biggest name in RSIC-V. The most notable thing about RISC-V conferences is the content. Not only is the content deep, it is international from the top companies in the industry. It is hard to find a design win these days without… Read More
