At the RISC-V Summit in North America this week, RISC-V International announced that the RVA23 Profile has been ratified. The fundamental objective behind RVA Profiles is to ensure software portability across hardware implementations.. This announcement reminded me of an important question that Krst...

Reflecting on how far we’ve come since SiFive launched the world’s first RISC-V development boards back in 2016, it’s clear we’ve been on an incredible journey together with the RISC-V software community. Those early boards, like the HiFive1, were game-changers—true ignitors for the entire RISC-V re...

SiFive’s mission is to create the best computing solutions in the world so our customers can deliver differentiated, best-in-class products. We do this not only by building great intellectual property (IP), but also by driving the RISC-V ecosystem forward. The open standard RISC-V architecture is t...

Large language models (LLMs) have become essential to numerous applications, thanks to their powerful capabilities in natural language understanding and text generation. However, their large model sizes and high computational demands present significant challenges for efficient deployment and real-t...

In case you missed it at the 2024 Samsung Developer Conference today, our partners at Samsung Visual Display discussed the work they have been doing to port the Tizen operating system to RISC-V. Tizen is an open-source operating system (OS) that is used in many Samsung smart T.V.s and it makes sense...

At our recent SiFive Day event, SiFive’s CEO Patrick Little explained that “AI and RISC-V were made for each other.” The open RISC-V standard frees developers from the restrictions of proprietary compute, giving them more flexibility to innovate. RISC-V efficiently supports specialized computing eng...
