Chinese chip designer Sophgo, a suspected supplier of AI silicon to Huawei, has been added to the USA’s “Entity List” of orgs ...

There is great excitement in the world of microprocessors, surrounding the RISC-V architecture. This is an open source modular instruction set specification that has seen implementations on FPGAs ...

Third-gen Xiangshan may be close to performance of Arm’s made-for-HPC Neoverse 2 A key figure in in China’s drive to develop ...

RISC-V ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) is designed in a modular way. It means that the ISA has several groups of instructions (ISA extensions) that can be enabled or disabled as needed. This allows ...

Open source software rightly gets a lot of attention; open source hardware has its part to play too. One development drawing increasing attention in both technical and executive circles is RISC-V, ...

The prolific x86 and Arm architectures might soon have another contender to deal with as RISC-V adoption rises.

The only problem with ARM is that it’s licensed, so if you want to go even further down the open-source path the RISC-V instruction set is the next logical step. Now at least one mainline Linux ...

RISC-V is an open ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) that defines the boundary between hardware of the processor design and the software that it will execute, such as operating systems and application ...

The MIPS Coherence Manager and shared virtual memory (SVM) use an AMBA ACE interface to tie the RISC-V clusters and the I/O coherence unit (IOCU). The manager supports up to eight units, which usually ...

Comment The ratification of the RVA23 profile for RISC-V marks a monumental moment for the architecture, and anyone who's ...

“There’s a standard, but there isn’t just one provider. What’s different is that RISC-V uses a modular approach. There is a base set of 47 instructions, and you add whatever extensions you need for ...

“The maturity level of RISC-V and the availability of domain-specific instruction set extensions, like vector processing, make RISC-V a good candidate for supporting the integration of specialized ...
