At Hot Chips 2025, Philippe Sauter of ETH Zürich presented Basilisk, a project that may redefine what’s possible with open-source hardware. Basilisk is a 34 mm² RISC-V SoC fabricated at IHP Microelectronics on its open-source 130nm BiCMOS process in Germany. Basilisk, named after the Greco-Roman mythical creature known… Read More
Webinar: From C++ to Silicon: Fast, Physically Aware, AI-Driven Exploration with Rise Design Automation and Precision Innovations
As hardware designs grow more complex, architectural exploration is increasingly critical to delivering differentiated silicon. Teams frequently develop promising architectures only to discover late in the cycle that physical implementation is too costly or fails to meet key specifications. This challenge intensifies
