Ecosystem Momentum

Last year was a hallmark one for the RISC-V Foundation. Our membership continued to grow at a rapid pace, surpassing 100 organizations, individuals, academics and universities. We put on the biggest RISC-V Workshop yet with 500+ attendees, and witnessed the industry buzzing about the exciting member news from the show. RISC-V members and enthusiasts gave talks about RISC-V at conferences and events around the world, including Hot Chips 29, the International SoC Conference, the Linley Processor Conference, ORConf 2017 and RISC-V Day 2017 Tokyo.
Continuing the momentum, the Foundation and our members will be giving RISC-V talks at upcoming shows including Embedded World 2018 in Germany, the IEEE International Symposium on HPC in Austria and DAC 2018 in San Francisco. We also look forward to the next event hosted by the Foundation, the 8th RISC-V Workshop in Barcelona. Stay tuned for more details about the event, taking place May 7 to 10 at BarcelonaTech (UPC).
Thank you for your continued support of the RISC-V Foundation and its ecosystem. We look forward to a fantastic year ahead in 2018 and beyond.
