Krste Asanovic

Professor at UC Berkeley

SiFive, Co-Founder & Chief Architect

Chairman of the RISC V Foundation

Krste is SiFive’s Chief Architect and a Co-Founder. He is also a Professor in the EECS Department at the University of California, Berkeley, where he also serves as Director of the ADEPT Lab. Krste leads the RISC‑V ISA project at Berkeley, and is Chairman of the RISC‑V Foundation. He is an ACM Fellow and an IEEE Fellow. Krste received his PhD from UC Berkeley, and a BA in Electrical and Information Sciences from the University of Cambridge.

In this keynote, Dr. Krste Asanovic will share with the CASPA audience how his curiosity in arcade games in his childhood actually ignited his interest in building faster computers, and eventually leading him to devote his passion towards computer architecture: inventing the RISC-V instruction set architecture, setting the foundation to enable open semiconductor innovation worldwide, and founding one of the hottest semiconductor startups – SiFive.
