Video: Charting the Future of AI/ML with Open Standards and Global Collaboration
Phil Tomi, Technical Steering Committee Vice Chair, discusses RISC-V’s critical role in AI development, highlighting its flexibility for custom silicon design, strong ecosystem support, and emerging standards that enable efficient, domain-specific acceleration for AI applications, positioning RISC-V as the preferred architecture for building AI accelerators
Common Language for the Development of AI Systems
A New Standard For AI
RISC-V is quickly becoming the preferred standard for building performant and efficient AI accelerators, bringing together experts from different geographies and
industries to define the AI solutions of tomorrow.
A Common Language For AI
RISC-V provides a common language for AI development, as an industry standard ISA, backed by a cohesive ecosystem for AI/ML development addressing all market segments.
Ecosystem Support
A unified ecosystem unites global experts across industries to define tomorrow’s AI solutions, delivering innovative technologies for future generations.
Software-Based Approach to Hardware
Software Focused
The extensible industry standard RISC-V ISA enables a software-focused approach to AI hardware, and a unified programming model across AI workloads running on CPU, GPU & NPU
Workload-Based Customization
RISC-V’s modular architecture enables industry leading differentiation, through the development of custom instructions and accelerators targeted at your software work–load
Future Proofed
The latest advancements in AI/ML algorithms can be quickly integrated into hardware designs, keeping pace with fast-evolving demands.
Control your Compute Roadmap & Supply Chain
Tailored Customization
RISC-V allows for domain-specific customization tailored to particular applications and workloads by enabling the selection of appropriate ratified extensions from the standard.
Extensibility
RISC-V enables the addition of ratified extensions from the standard or vendor-
developed extensions to differentiate products with application-specific functionality.
Freedom to Innovate
A standardized yet flexible platform allows designers to rapidly integrate cutting-edge research into hardware without being hampered by proprietary constraints.
Building a Better Business Case for AI
Cost Efficient
RISC-V enables rapid innovation and cost-effective development.
No Lock-In
Free from restrictions of vendor lock-in RISC-V enables open collaboration and pooled resources to advance one interoperable global standard.
Flexibility
By reducing barriers to entry and democratizing AI, RISC-V is a standardized yet
flexible foundation that upends the economics of custom silicon x enabling industry-leading differentiation.
