  • Cuda Comes to RISC-V Hosts, Not Devices

    Simple Cuda, RISC-V graphic

    Nvidia intends to port Cuda to RISC-V, but this is less revolutionary than it sounds. Speaking at the Fifth RISC-V China Summit, Nvidia VP Frans Sijstermans stated the company is cooperating with hardware partners to support the open architecture in the standard Cuda version. However, this doesn’t imply Nvidia will support RISC-V chips as alternatives… continue reading

  • Ceva Boosts NeuPro-M NPU Throughput and Efficiency

    artistic chip rendering

    Ceva has revised its NeuPro-M AI accelerator (NPU), introducing a configuration with more multiply-accumulate units (MACs) and updating the architecture to enhance real-world throughput and power efficiency. The NeuPro-M scales from a single-engine design integrating 4,096 eight-bit MACs to an eight-engine configuration with 64K eight-bit MACs. For even greater performance, licensees of the NeuPro-M design… continue reading


  • GlobalFoundries to Acquire MIPS

    GlobalFoundries spacecraft beaming up MIPS

    Semiconductor manufacturer GlobalFoundries has agreed to acquire RISC-V supplier MIPS, an unexpected pairing of nonoverlapping businesses. The companies have withheld the price, indicating it is immaterial to the acquirer. MIPS will retain autonomy after the acquisition and still serve customers of other foundries. The deal solidifies MIPS’s status as a going concern, trading its venture-capital… continue reading


  • Esperanto Technologies Exits AI Chips
