RISC-V pioneer SiFive has opened its first office in the UK, and promises that staff there will enjoy “location flexibility” as the company looks to expand its presence and grow the RISC-V ecosystem.
“I have exciting news to share,” Andrew Frame, formerly of Cambridge-based proprietary chip IP giant Arm, wrote in an announcement on LinkedIn. “As the very first UK employee of SiFive I’m pleased to announce that SiFive UK is here and we’re hiring.”
Founded in 2015 by Krste Asanović, Yunsup Lee, and Andrew Waterman, all formerly of the University of California at Berkeley, SiFive has been working aggressively to push commercialised implementations of the free and open-source RISC-V architecture into a variety of markets.
