Where are cores used?

Cores can be found in various types of chips, including central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), and other specialized processing units. Each core within a chip operates as a separate processing unit, capable of executing instructions and performing computations. That helps to achieve higher processing power, enabling simultaneous execution of multiple tasks and improved performance in multi-threaded or parallelizable workloads.

What types of core are available?

Codasip provides a set of cores compliant with RISC-V standards with different levels of complexity:

• Embedded cores such as the 32-bit 3-stage Codasip L11 and Codasip L31 cores. Low-power cores are designed for embedded applications with significant energy constraints. These cores are highly configurable and can be extended with additional features such as FPU, caches, tightly-coupled memory, branch predictor, and more. Applications range from embedded IoT to high-performance embedded tasks.
• Application cores such as the 64-bit 7-stage Codasip A70 core. These cores are capable of running an OS like Linux. The instruction set includes I, M, A, F, D, C extensions from the RISC-V set.
