Keynote: Is hardware/software co-design for applications now a reality with RISC-V?

 

RISC-V Summit 2021

Abstract:
RISC-V Vector instructions offer significant flexibility and options to configure a hardware accelerator for applications such as Datacenters and AI. Following initial cloud-based development with extensive real-world datasets, the migration to a hardware accelerator array with RISC-V vectors is redefining the software driven approach to hardware design.
This talk highlights SoC architectural exploration with multicore arrays and optimized RISC V processors to support early software development for vector accelerators. It introduces some of the challenges and discusses different approaches being adopted in the community/industry.

Speaker:     Kevin McDermott – Imperas Software
