Micron Technology, NetApp, NGD Systems, Nyriad, Samsung Electronics, ScaleFlux, SK hynix, Western Digital Corporation, and Xilinx. RISC-V is a free and open computer standard with roots back to the 1980’s. The RISC-V foundation was founded in 2015 and has more than 100 member organizations collaborating on software and hardware innovations that the foundation believes will pave the way for the next 50 years of computing design and innovation. Proponents of RISC-V say that it that enables the diversity of Big Data and Fast Data applications and workloads proliferating in core data centers and in remote and mobile systems at the edge. It provides an alternative to current, standard, general purpose compute architectures. Companies such as Western Digital are planning to use RISC-V cores in storage devices to provide a very flexible open application architecture for computational storage.
