Western Digital SweRVs Towards Open Source With New RISC-V Core, ISS, And Cache Coherency

By December 19, 2018No Comments1 min read

Is open source changing the way we manage data? Western Digital, a data storage device company, switched to RISC-V’s open-source ISA (instruction set architecture) a year ago. This month, they announced a series of open-source, collaborative initiatives that aim to make data more open, from processor cores to memory caches.

At the inaugural RISC-V summit this December, there were many announcements and presentations detailing the state of RISC-V and its impact—present and future—on the industry. Western Digital, a company best known for data storage devices, is one of the companies in the growing RISC-V environment. One year ago, they announced that they were moving to RISC-V. Now, they’re doubling down on their commitment to this open source architecture, aiming to facilitate new innovation and help lead the charge into the future of data processing and, eventually, data storage.   To read more, please visit: https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/news/western-digital-swerv-open-source-risc-v-core-iss-cache-coherency/.]]>
