Going back to 2016 we’ve known of NVIDIA beginning to use RISC-V to replace their Falcon micro-controller and other micro-controllers within their graphics processors to using this common open-source ISA. That use has continued to grow and an… Article Source https://www.phoronix.com/news/RISC-V-NVIDIA-One-Billion
Nvidia will discuss how it uses the RISC-V architecture at the RISC-V Summit from October 22 to 24. The GPU maker has used the RISC-V CPU architecture in its GPU microcontrollers for nine years. A 20-minute keynote from Frans Sijstermans, vice… Article Source https://www.hpcwire.com/2024/10/19/nvidia-google-to-speak-about-risc-v-use-at-annual-summit/
InspireSemi is aiming to revolutionize supercomputing chip design with their Thunderbird ‘supercomputer-cluster-on-a-chip’, which combines the versatility of CPUs with the parallelism of GPUs. The chip features 1,536 custom RISC-V cores, high-performance SRAM, accelerators for cryptography algorithms, and on-chip mesh structure for connectivity. It also supports LPDDR memory, NVMe storage, PCIe, and GbE connectivity. With plans … Read more
