@HPCpodcast: An Architecture Update from RISC-V International CTO Mark Himelstein
July 6, 2023 by
Mark Himelstein, chief technology officer at RISC-V International, joins us to discuss the latest developments with the RISC-V instruction set architecture and its growing community and footprint. Topics include: HPC use cases from sensors to supercomputer, achieving customization without loss of compatibility, AI and its impact on chips and systems, and the question on everyone’s mind: when will we see RISC-V in servers and supercomputers? Himelstein also looks at RISC-V’s design wins, including EuroHPC’s backing of R&D to develop HPC hardware and software based on RISC-V. You may also be interested in Shahin’s conversation with Mark in August 2020 to hear how things have evolved since then.
