A couple of years ago, Erik McClure (a Microsoft software developer, at the time) published a blog entitled RISC Is Fundamentally Unscalable. This blog was really quite interesting and made some very ...

In this eeNews report, Mateo Valero, Director of the Barcelona Supercomputer center, explains how the RISC-V architecture can play a main role in new supercomputer architectures. Valero was the ...

RISC-V is, like x86 and ARM, an instruction set architecture (ISA). Unlike x86 and ARM, it is a free and open standard that anyone can use without getting locked into someone else's processor designs ...

There’s been a significant shift toward RISC-V architectures in SoC design. This article highlights its impact on the semiconductor industry and role in fostering innovation and flexibility in ...

Why it matters: Arm and x86 processor architectures made a fair number of mistakes when first introduced to the market. You would think that developers working with the open-source RISC-V would have ...

Changing processor architectures can also lower software performance. Most designers understand how things such as cache size and clock speed affect processor performance; however, the underlying ...

1. SiFive's Freedom E310 32-bit microcontroller is the first commercially available RISC-V chip. A RISC-V chip is now available in the form of SiFive's Freedom E310 (Fig. 1). The Freedom E310 is a ...
