7th RISC-V Workshop Agenda
November 28-30, 2017
[clear]Our final agenda is posted below and registration for the 7th RISC-V Workshop, hosted by Western Digital in Milpitas California on November 28-30, 2017 is now closed as the workshop is now sold out.
Our goals for these events are to bring the RISC-V community together to share information about recent activity in the various RISC-V projects underway around the globe, and build consensus on the future evolution of the instruction set.
This will be a three day event broken down as follow:
- Tuesday and Wednesday November 28-29, 2017 – These two days will follow our traditional two day format used at previous workshops with presentations covering various RISC-V projects underway within the RISC-V community and will include a poster / demo reception on Tuesday evening.
- Thursday November 30, 2017 – The workshop week will conclude with RISC-V Foundation meetings with attendance restricted to members of the RISC-V Foundation. The day will consist of Technical and Marketing Committee face to face meetings to progress the work currently underway within our various Task Groups.
