RISC-V, a relatively new player in the field, has managed to disrupt a market long dominated by established ISAs. What sets RISC-V apart? One key factor lies in its ability to empower chip designers like never before. With RISC-V, designers can extend the ISA to unlock enhanced computing power, significant performance improvements, power reduction, and reduced costs. Take, for instance, the groundbreaking Meta Training and Inference Accelerator (MTIA). Leveraging Andes Technology Corp.’s RISC-V CPU with vector extensions IP, MTIA showcases the potential of custom extensions to drive innovation in chip design.

Traditionally, adding functionality to a CPU ISA posed significant challenges, often resulting in lengthy design cycles and delays in time to market. However, Andes has revolutionized the process with tools like ACE (Andes Custom Extension) and CoPilot, streamlining the integration of custom extensions into RISC-V CPUs. Now, designers can implement custom changes more efficiently, paving the way for rapid innovation and product development.

But the evolution of chip design doesn’t stop at RISC-V. Enter the era of Software Defined products, where flexibility and adaptability reign supreme. Whether it’s Software Defined Vehicles or configurable electronics in aerospace applications, the need for dynamic adjustments is more pressing than ever. This is where Menta’s embedded Field-Programmable Gate Array (eFPGA) comes into play.

Menta’s eFPGA technology complements RISC-V CPUs with custom extensions, offering unparalleled flexibility across a myriad of use cases. From software-defined radio in telecom to configurable engine management systems in automotive applications, the possibilities are limitless. With Menta’s eFPGA, chip designers can seamlessly adapt to evolving standards, address security vulnerabilities, and optimize performance in real-time.

The synergy between RISC-V and Software Defined products represents a paradigm shift in chip design. By combining the power of customizable ISAs with the flexibility of embedded FPGA technology, Andes and Menta are empowering designers to push the boundaries of innovation. Whether it’s unlocking new capabilities in telecom infrastructure or enhancing imaging and preprocessing in space applications, the possibilities are as vast as the cosmos.
