Because of its open and modular nature, RISC-V has faced recognizable security challenges stemming from fragmentation, performance inefficiencies, and inherent vulnerabilities. Fragmentation across implementations leads to inconsistencies, making it difficult to enforce uniform security measures. Performance… Read More
The RISC-V Summit Europe is the premier event that connects the European movers and shakers – from industry, government, research, academia and ecosystem support – that are building the future of innovation on RISC-V.
RISC-V, the open standard instruction set architecture (ISA), is enabling a range of new applications and… Read More
The dominance of GPUs in AI workloads has long been driven by their ability to handle massive parallelism, but this advantage comes at the cost of high-power consumption and architectural rigidity. A new approach, leveraging a chiplet-based RISC-V vector processor, offers an alternative that balances performance, efficiency,… Read More
The growing demand for high-performance AI applications continues to drive innovation in CPU architecture design. As machine learning workloads, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), become more computationally intensive, architects face the challenge of delivering performance improvements while maintaining… Read More
As RISC-V gains traction in the global semiconductor industry, developers are exploring fully open-source approaches to processor design. XiangShan, a high-performance RISC-V CPU project, combined with the Mulan Permissive License v2 (Mulan PSL v2), represents a community-driven, transparent alternative to proprietary… Read More

Tell us a little bit about yourself and your company.
I am the Chief Sales Officer and I lead the global sales team and drive the overall sales process.
Semidynamics was founded 2016 as a design service company with a focus on RISC-V. This was so successful that the CEO decided to pivot the company towards its own IP sales and started… Read More
Fabrizio Del Maffeo is the CEO and co-founder of Axelera AI, the Netherlands-based startup building game-changing, scalable hardware for AI at the edge. Axelera AI was incubated by the Bitfury Group, a globally recognised emerging technologies company, where Fabrizio previously served as Head of AI. In his role at Axelera AI,… Read More
Formal verification methods are being adopted at a fast pace as a complement to traditional verification methods like functional simulation for IP blocks in SoC designs. I had a video meeting with Max Birtel, co-founder of LUBIS EDA and learned more about their history, products and vision. This company started recently in 2020… Read More
