New RISC-V High-performance Chips and Software Research Detailed
HPCWire, Wednesday, August 14th, 2024
Many efforts are underway to make RISC-V production ready for servers and supercomputing, though the architecture is still years away from viability.
China and Europe detailed new high-performance chips, and the EU is building an experimental RISC-V cloud computing environment built on open-source software. Separately, researchers are testing new RISC-V chips, including Tenstorrent's Grayskull.
RISC-V is an alternative to the x86 and ARM architectures, which dominate the server market. Although RISC-V is years away from being a practical choice for servers and high-performance computers, academic and research institutions are bridging the gap to make that a reality.
