More than Moore with Domain-Specific Processors
The Moore’s law has had remarkably long validity of almost half a century. Today, however, it is ceasing to apply, opening new pressing questions such as: How to make up for the fact that chip size cannot be effectively reduced any more? What is the new way to improve performance? Roddy’s blogpost digs into one of the most promising answers: Core customization. Read on!
The Challenges of Making Open-Source RISC-V Deployment Effective
Using open-source is appealing, but also challenging. Can there be solid support for open core deployment? What will be the “Linux way” in the hardware domain?
Have you checked the hidden costs of deploying an open source RISC-V core?
It is often implied that if you use an open source processor core there are no costs associated with using it. Is that actually true?
Does RISC-V mean Open Source Processors?
“RISC-V means open-source processors.” This is a statement that I have often heard this year – however, is it true or false? The answer is in this blog post. Do open standards automatically mean open source? Before answering the question “Does RISC-V Mean Open-Source Processors?”, let’s consider the broader issue of whether open standards automatically […]
