Krste Asanović, Chairman, RISC-V Foundation Rick O’Connor, Executive Director, RISC-V FoundationRecent articles in the media have raised awareness around the processor security vulnerabilities named Meltdown and Spectre. These vulnerabilities are particularly troubling as they are not due to a bug in a particular processor implementation, but are a consequence of the widespread technique of speculative execution. Many generations of processors with different ISAs and from several different manufacturers are susceptible…

Krste Asanović, Chairman, RISC-V FoundationMemory consistency models (MCMs) are known to flummox even experienced computer architects, so it is perhaps not surprising that recent news articles had some difficulty portraying the nuances behind recent findings by a team of Princeton researchers led by Professor Margaret Martonosi.  The RISC-V Foundation is publishing this article to help the RISC-V community understand the deeper implications of the Princeton study. Executive Summary The Princeton team…

Berkeley, California – Over the last year the RISC-V architecture has evolved from an academic research interest to a mainstream embedded processor technology with a rich ecosystem and a fast-growing number of real-world implementations. As a sign of this progress, a number of companies will be demonstrating commercial implementations of RISC-V products next week at Embedded World 2017, the leading international trade fair for embedded systems (March 14-16, Nuremberg, Germany) https://www.embedded-world.de/enRISC-V…
