Andrea Gallo from RVI speaks to JPR’s David Harold about RISC-V’s future. RISC-V is moving towards further standardization with the RVA23 Profile, ensuring software compatibility while retaining flexibility. AI and HPC are key focus areas, with new matrix extensions optimizing workloads. Gallo sees hardware-software co-design as the future, reinforcing RISC-V’s customization advantage over legacy architectures.
RISC-V International is the global nonprofit organization that oversees the development, standardization, and promotion of the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA). It was originally established as the RISC-V Foundation in 2015 but later incorporated in Switzerland as RISC-V International in 2020 to encourage international participation and avoid geopolitical restrictions.
We met with RISC-V International Vice President of Technology Andrea Gallo to find out what to expect from RISC-V in 2025.
