Abstract
An overview of research projects at HPSN using RISC-V processors is presented. We explain our motivations to use RISC-V and the RI5CY micro-architecture for our processing elements. The integration of the CPU and the scalability of the PE architecture is demonstrated with two example projects. A comparison shows that our chip implementations in 22 nm FDSOI technology reach state-of-the-art energy efficiency numbers.
