Semiconductor designers today face a critical hurdle: how to smoothly transition from an open-source hardware blueprint to a commercially hardened, production-ready silicon implementation. As semiconductors play an increasingly essential role in powering the AI era, safeguarding these hardware foundations has become… Read More
Tag: RISC-V processor
An open letter regarding Cyber Resilience of the UK’s Critical National Infrastructure
Codasip announced a commercially available RISC-V processor with CHERI for license in October of 2023 and is demonstrating technology for IP provenance.
Dear Members of the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee,
Let me start by applauding your hearing on 24 April 2024, and in particular the evidence of Professor John… Read More
NoCs give architects flexibility in system-in RISC-V design
RISC-V tends to generate excitement over the possibilities for the processor core, any custom instruction extensions, and its attached memory subsystem. Those are all necessary steps to obtaining system-level performance. But is that attention sufficient? Architects who have ventured into larger system-on-chip (SoC) … Read More
Extending RISC-V for accelerating FIR and median filters
RISC-V presents a unique opportunity for designers to extend the microarchitecture with custom instructions. One possible application is digital signal filtering using finite impulse response (FIR) or median filters, potential algorithms for carrier demodulation schemes in communications systems like 5G. Codasip application… Read More
Taking the Risk out of Developing Your Own RISC-V Processor with Fast, Architecture-Driven, PPA Optimization
Are you developing or thinking about developing your own RISC-V processor? You’re not alone. The use of the RISC-V ISA to develop processors for SoCs is a growing trend. RISC-V offers a lot of flexibility with the ability to customize or create ISA and microarchitectural extensions to differentiate your design no matter your application… Read More
