Designing a system-on-chip (SoC) has never been more complex—or more critical. With accelerating demands across AI, automotive, and high-performance compute applications, today’s SoC architects face a series of high-stakes tradeoffs from the very beginning. Decisions made during the earliest phases of design—regarding… Read More
As the computing industry seeks more flexible, scalable, and open hardware architectures, RISC-V has emerged as a compelling alternative to proprietary instruction set architectures. At the forefront of this revolution stands Andes Technology, offering a comprehensive lineup of RISC-V processor solutions that go far beyond… Read More
As it celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025, Andes Technology stands as a defining force in the RISC-V movement—an open computing revolution. What began in 2005 as a bold vision to deliver high-efficiency Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) processor IP has evolved into a company whose innovations power billions of devices… Read More
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
A lively panel discussion about RISC-V and open-source functional verification highlighted this year’s Design Automation Conference. Part One looked at selecting a RISC-V IP block from a third-party vendor and investigating its functional verification process.
In Part Two, moderator Ron Wilson and Contributing Editor … Read More
Most of the RISC-V action at the end of June was at the RISC-V Summit Europe, but not all. In fact, a group of well-informed and opinionated experts took over the Pavilion stage at the Design Automation Conference to discuss functional verification challenges for RISC-V and open-source IP.
Technology Journalist Ron Wilson and … Read More
