4th RISC-V Workshop Proceedings

By July 25, 2016October 1st, 2020No Comments

Our 4th RISC-V Workshop was hosted at MIT in Cambridge, MA, this past July 12-13, 2016. The Workshop agenda is shown below together with slides and videos from each of the talks.  We had tremendous participation with 266 registered attendees representing 63 companies and 42 universities from around the world.

About the Workshop

The goals for our RISC-V workshops are for the community to share information about recent activity in various RISC-V projects underway around the globe, and to build consensus on future steps with the RISC-V ISA. This workshop features talks and poster presentations conveying recent activity in the RISC-V community at large, collected during an open submission period.
