Risc V is The Future!
RISC-V is an open-source and free architecture standard. Just as we see many software companies thriving because the software stack is free and open-source, RISC-V has made hardware architecture free and open-source, allowing anyone to develop hardware. This innovation positions RISC-V as the future of computing.
Why Risc-V?
CPU design requires design expertise in several specialties: electronic digital logic, compilers, and operating systems. To cover the costs of such a team, commercial vendors of processor intellectual property (IP), such as Arm Ltd. and MIPS Technologies, charge royalties for the use of their designs and patents. They also often require non-disclosure agreements before releasing documents that describe their designs' detailed advantages. In many cases, they never describe the reasons for their design choices. RISC-V was begun with a goal to make a practical ISA that was open-sourced, usable academically, and deployable in any hardware or software design without royalties.
Power of RISC-V Architecture for Next-generation
The PRAN CPU Series is a cutting-edge RISC-V processor line designed for versatility, ranging from single-cycle to out-of-order execution CPUs, within a high-performance heterogeneous SoC. By leveraging the latest RISC-V RVA23 profile, PRAN integrates advanced features like vector operations, atomic instructions, and floating-point support, optimizing it for AI, machine learning, and data center applications. It includes enhanced virtualization and safety protocols suitable for automotive and industrial standards. As an open-hardware initiative, PRAN fosters innovation through industry partnerships and global contributions, pushing the boundaries of shared knowledge in high-performance computing.
