SiFive unveils RISC-V chip design for high-performance AI workloads
SiFive, a designer of chips based on the RISC-V computing platform, announced a series of new AI chips for high-performance AI workloads.
This is the first intellectual property from SiFive to include a highly scalable AI matrix engine, which accelerates time to market for semiconductor companies building system on chip solutions for edge IoT, consumer devices, next generation electric and/or autonomous vehicles, data centers, and beyond. While big leaders in AI like Nvidia can use their own proprietary graphics processing unit (GPU) architectures, smaller companies use their own breed of accelerators, he said. “RISC-V was originally developed to efficiently support specialized computing engines including mixed-precision operations,” said Krste Asanovic, SiFive chief architect, in a statement.
