RISC-V is looking for universities, individuals, and companies to develop online course content. RISC-V International provides support, production, and promotion to ensure high caliber learning and promotion to millions of engineers globally.
If you are interested in authoring a course, please fill out this form or email training@riscv.org with your interest, questions, and course information.
Developing a RISC-V Learn course is a fantastic opportunity to build your teaching credentials and professional experience, and for PhD students, universities and companies to build their leadership within the RISC-V community. We encourage engineers and instructors with RISC-V teaching experience to contribute to the Learn RISC-V program.
Currently we are seeking authors to write courses on the following topics:
Software
- Porting code from other ISAs (x86 or Arm) to RISC-V
- Optimizing code with RISC-V Vector (coming from Arm SVE/SME/Neon and x86 SIMD)
- Developing AI/ML inference on RISC-V (using Vector and later Matrix)
Hardware
- Testing your RISC-V core implementation for architecture compliance
- Introduction to SAIL
- Developing ISA extensions: profiling, bottleneck identification, evaluation of new instructions, adding support for SAIL
If you have additional course ideas or content, please let us know!
Course Development Guidelines and Expectations
- Each course should take about 10 hours for the learner to complete. We expect courses to be roughly 20,000 words.
- Please submit information including a written title, subject overview, and table of contents.
- Provide a timeline of when you expect the course to be finalized and course content outline: written content, videos planned, with relative quizzes (required for edX) that give the individual a proven understanding of the content learned. Labs are possible but please reach out to us for further details on how to incorporate labs into your training.
- Once approved, the Linux Foundation team will reach out to discuss your course’s timeline and provide guidance. The instructor, Linux Foundation, and RISC-V International will work together using Google docs to add comments and questions pertaining to the course content.
- The Linux Foundation training team and RISC-V International will work with you along the way to ensure any questions are answered and that content is relevant.
