RISC-V International Welcomes New Board Members: Leading Growth Through Technology, Opportunity, and Community By Calista Redmond, August 3, 2020 The RISC-V community has grown and matured rapidly in the 10 years since RISC-V inception, and in our 5 year history as an organization. We’ve progressed together through technology, opportunity, and community. RISC-V has become a disruptive technology, spurred unprecedented semiconductor innovation, and demonstrated there is a simpler and modular way of building a chip. The unconstrained opportunity achieved by bringing together the global community with a range of domain expertise from many different industries drives this exponential growth. The RISC-V community is engaged with members from companies of all sizes, in geographies around the world, and expertise in the critical areas needed for a healthy ecosystem. As RISC-V leads an open approach into the next era of processor design, our Board and leadership team are focused on cultivating our ecosystem of hardware and software, growing adoption across industries from embedded to cloud, and cultivating collaboration and knowledge across the engineering community. Please join with me in welcoming our newly elected and Premier level representatives to the RISC-V International Board of Directors. We’re very fortunate to have great leadership across industries and domains, representing all levels of members and reflecting the geographies of our global membership.
