Industrial Sesson: RISC-V: Evolution, Innovation and Research Challenges of Open-ISA

Room: Britannic Suite

Abstract

Standards are known to slow down research and innovation in their area. Therefore, one might fear that the RISC-V ISA, as a standard, slows down processor and ISA development.

Interestingly though, the opposite can be observed. Pushed by politicians worldwide, many research programs around RISC-V have been defined and undertaken, and more are in preparation. Further, Universities make faster progress since they can focus on dedicated research aspects since RISC-V infrastructure and high-quality reference implementations are freely available in open source. Also freely available applications and reference implementations help to validate and compare research results with existing solutions.

In this session, leading researchers and engineers from universities and industry report on their recent research and development results around RISC-V, their challenges in bringing RISC-V to life, and how RISC-V fosters their work.
