SAN DIEGO, May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — X-Silicon Inc (XSI), a San Diego-based startup, announced today their new NanoTile open-standard low-power “C-GPU” architecture that infuses GPU acceleration into a RISC-V Vector CPU Core with tightly coupled memory for a monolithic processor solution. It will be the first to open-source its unified RISC-V Vector CPU-with-GPU Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and provide register-level access to its hardware via a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). This strategy allows OEMs and Content Providers to leverage a RISC-V Vector Standard ISA with GPU extensions to customize their drivers and applications to a greater level than is currently possible. X-Silicon is also the first to offer Vulkan on RISC-V with fused GPU acceleration, making it a natural choice for development on Android devices.
