In a warmly received keynote at the RISC-V Summit, computer architecture legend David Patterson took the audience on a captivating trip back to 1981, using scanned versions of his original overhead transparencies to recount the birth of Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) at UC Berkeley.
Patterson began with humor, noting… Read More
In an engaging presentation at a recent RISC-V summit, Martin Dixon, Google’s Director of Data Center Performance Engineering, took the audience on a metaphorical “road trip” to explore the company’s vision for integrating RISC-V into its massive warehouse-scale computing infrastructure. Drawing… Read More
Building a complex SoC is a risky endeavor that demands careful planning, strategic decisions, and collaboration across hardware and software domains. As highlighted in Darren Jones’ RISC-V Summit presentation from Andes Technology, titled “From Blueprint to Reality: Navigating SoC Tradeoffs, IP, and Ecosystem,”… Read More
RISC-V has emerged as a cornerstone of modern computing, offering an open-source alternative to proprietary designs like ARM and x86. Free from licensing fees and highly extensible, RISC-V powers everything from IoT devices to AI accelerators, with over 13 billion cores shipped globally. Annual RISC-V Summits, organized… Read More

These were the closing words Yunsup Lee, CTO, SiFive used at one of the December RISC-V Summit Keynotes entitled ‘Opportunities and Challenges of Building Silicon in the Cloud’. Fired up was more the mood among the 1000+ attendees of the RISC-V Summit held at the Santa Clara Convention Center and SiFive was among the companies showcasing… Read More
One of the challenges in the RISC-V bid for world domination may be security. That may seem like a silly statement, given that security weaknesses are invariably a function of implementation and RISC-V doesn’t define implementation, only the instruction-set architecture (ISA). But bear with me. RISC-V success depends heavily… Read More
