The era of universal processor architectures is giving way to workload-specific designs optimized for performance, power, and scalability. As data-centric applications in artificial intelligence (AI), ...

RISC-V, an open instruction set architecture (ISA), is reshaping the global computing landscape. Unlike proprietary ISAs such as x86, widely used by Intel and AMD, or ARM, which dominates mobile and ...

The semiconductor industry increasingly needs more flexible and scalable processor architectures, driving the growing adoption of RISC-V. Originally developed at the University of California, Berkeley ...

RISC is a somewhat misleading term, as a RISC processor doesn't *have* to have fewer instructions in its ISA than a CISC system (Though RISC architectures do tend to try to do so). For example, the ...

A new instruction set by the original creator of MIPS aims to reinvent the ultra-low power, high-efficiency processor -- and to do so with an architecture that's fundamentally open and available to ...

Wireless networking solves many of the cost problems of wired networking by requiring less infrastructure and equipment. Yet wireless networking also must grapple with its own issues. For instance, in ...

A technical paper titled “Energy-Efficient Exposed Datapath Architecture With a RISC-V Instruction Set Mode” was published by researchers at Tampere University. “Transport triggered architectures ...

There are a ton of inventions out in the world that are almost complete accidents, but are still ubiquitous in our day-to-day lives. Things like bubble wrap which was originally intended to be ...

The RISC processor (dubbed the serial datapath unit since it executes instructions sequentially) coordinates the algorithmic operations and has a moderate throughput of about 150 MIPS. The serial ...

EnSilica, the Wokingham IP specialist, has licensed its eSi-RISC processor IP to fabless touch and display chip vendor Solomon Systech of Hong Kong. The multi-year licensing agreement covers the full ...
