The Freedom to Innovate: Arteris and the Rise of RISC-V
Friday Nov 03, 2023
Friday Nov 03, 2023
The adoption of RISC-V is spreading. Versatility and “freedom to innovate” are powering the ecosystem. In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, Frank Schirrmeister from Arteris and I explore how to enable better architecture optimization, manage different protocols with ease, and reduce interconnect area plus power consumption with network-on-chip IP. Also this week, I check out new soft medical micro robots developed by a team of researchers from the University of Waterloo.
