Mobiveil Inc. And SiFive Partner To Develop RISC-V Based Configurable SSD Platform For Data Center And Enterprise Storage Applications

Mobiveil, Inc. a provider of Serial Interconnect IP blocks and platforms targeting Flash Storage, IoT and Communication markets, has selected SiFive’s multicore E51 and U54 Core IPs to power Mobiveil’s new advanced configurable Gen4 PCIe-NVMe SSD platform offering a high performance and low power SSD solution for data center storage applications. SiFive’s heterogenous, coherent RISC-V core complex in a high-performance FPGA along with Mobiveil’s Silicon Proven IP blocks (Gen4 PCIe, NVMe , LDPC, ONFI and Memory controller IP), provides data center customers a platform to develop their unique applications on RISC-V processors.
“RISC-V is the ideal processor for data center storage applications,” said Shafy Eltoukhy, SVP of Operations at SiFive Inc. “The cores’ highly efficient microarchitecture and configurability provide the optimal performance needed to execute the latest storage programs data centers are employing to accelerate access to the exploding amounts of information being compiled today. Working together with Mobiveil to make this RISC-V based SSD platform enables customers to accelerate their RISC-V based product development efforts.”
