RISC-V Business-December 4, 2017 |
I was at the 7th RISC-V Workshop for two days this week. It was hosted by Western Digital at their headquarters in Milpitas. If you have not been following RISC-V, it is an open source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) for processor design. The initiative started at Berkeley, and has been catching on like wildfire. There are a number of RTL implementations that work in FPGA’s or SOC’s and there is also production silicon from companies such as Si-Five. The RISC-V Workshop was sold out with over 500 attendees – most of whom stayed for the full two days.
