生成式 AI 的兴起使数据中心设计和优化成为行业关注的焦点。数据中心芯片需具备高性能和低延迟，以支持最新的 AI 计算任务。同时，可持续性也已成为数据中心的重要考量，因此数据中心芯片必须具备极高的效能。此外，芯片设计还得要具有灵活性，以便企业能够根据需求扩展 Cluster 数量。 过去几个月里，行业内一项极具潜力并可能带来变动的就是 Deepseek 的发布。Deepseek 称其模型相比竞品可显著减少计算资源的消耗，从而降低能源使用成本。直到 2024 年底，SiFive 与客户的交流仍主要集中在如何加快部署速度，而效能和成本相对而言并未成为首要考量。然而，2024 年年中时，SiFiv...

As RISC-V technology broadens its reach from broad adoption in embedded use cases to growing deployments across a set of additional markets, one of the main questions I am asked relates to the readiness of software optimized for this processor architecture. Over the recent holiday period, I reflecte...

This was my first time attending CES in (significantly) more than a decade. 141,000 attendees visited 4,500 exhibitors in the too-close-to-the-New-Year event in Las Vegas. As with most tradeshows, there were two levels to my conversations with customers and partners: Reviewing the products in the b...

With strong initial reviews, the HiFive Premier P550 Development Boards with pre-installed Ubuntu are in stock and available for purchase at Arrow.com. First launched in October, the Yocto-based Early Access edition of the HiFive Premier P550 sold out rapidly as developers eagerly embraced it to te...

In this blog, we’ll begin by introducing XNNPACK and exploring its current status on RISC-V platforms. Next, to bridge the technical gap for contributors, we will provide a step-by-step guide on integrating RVV-optimized microkernels into XNNPACK, using F32-GEMM (single-precision floating-point gene...
