RISC-V International Newsletter – November 2023

Message from RISC-V International

Greetings!

We’re in the final countdown to RISC-V Summit North America, which runs Nov. 6-8 in Santa Clara, CA. The anticipation and excitement across the ecosystem are contagious, as we bring together innovators and technical leaders from around the world. Our global RISC-V community includes technical, industry, domain ecosystem and special interests groups that come together to further showcase the power and continued adoption of RISC-V, and the products and solutions that are in the market and available now, enabling a new era of open compute.

Monday, Nov. 6 is RISC-V Member Day where technical and industry working groups meet to share updates on the status of various efforts. The next two days – Tuesday, Nov. 7 and Wednesday, Nov. 8 – feature impressive technical and industry sessions and keynotes. Speakers, including Qualcomm, Meta, Red Hat, Synopsys, My Silicon Compass and Google, address recents trends and updates in Automotive, Data Centers, Embedded, Mobile, AI/ML, Security, Software Stacks, Development Tools, Systems on a Chip, Chiplets and so much more. You won’t want to miss a single session. Plan your schedule now, the full agenda can be found here.

The RISC-V expo area features more than 40 exhibitors from all over the world showcasing their latest offerings and meeting face-to-face with customers and prospects. The expo area features a theater for special demo presentations as well as the RISC-V Developer Zone, showcasing the range of technologies available to hardware and software developers creating the next generation of computing applications.

It’s not too late to register. I can’t wait to see you all there!

Best,

Calista Redmond

CEO, RISC-V International
