China's RISC-V charge expedites: DAMO Academy, BOSC go deep on server-class and 16-core CPUs

NVIDIA Confirms CUDA Support Is Coming To RISC-V And It's A Huge Deal

Old-timers might recall the idea of "RISC" as a once-upon-a-time processor design ideology. RISC processors were mostly used for servers from Sun Microsystems, DEC, and other companies of a bygone era. As it happens though, RISC is alive and well, revived and revitalized with RISC-V in 2014 by Berkeley University. RISC-V remained relatively

Nvidia's CUDA Platform Now Support RISC-V

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Tom's Hardware: At the 2025 RISC-V Summit in China, Nvidia announced that its CUDA software platform will be made compatible with the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) on the CPU side of things. The news was confirmed during a presentation during a RISC-V event. This is a major step in enabling the RISC-V ISA-based CPUs in performance demanding applications. The announcement makes it clear that RI…

Tag-Based Memory Verification System for RISC-V (Inha Univ., Intel Labs et al.)

A new technical paper titled “Efficient Hardware-Assisted Heap Memory Safety for Embedded RISC-V Systems” was published by researchers at Inha University, Intel Labs, Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, and Korea National University of Education. Abstract “In recent years, memory safety issues in embedded environments have garnered significant attention, with spatial and temporal memory violations in heap memory emerging as cr…

Three high-performance RISC-V processors to watch in H2 2025: UltraRISC UR-DP1000, Zhihe A210, and SpacemIT K3 - CNX Software

Some high-performance RISC-V processors are in the pipeline for the rest of the year 2025, namely UltraRISC UR-DP1000, Zhihe A210, and SpacemIT K3. We currently have limited information about each of those processors, but let’s see what information we can gather from the web, mostly as a result of the recent RISC-V Summit in China. UltraRISC UR-DP1000  – Octa-core 64-bit RISC-V SoC The first SoC is the UR-DP1000 octa-core from UltraRISC (the web…

China's RISC-V charge expedites: DAMO Academy, BOSC go deep on server-class and 16-core CPUs

China is accelerating its deployment of RISC-V architecture as US-China tech decoupling intensifies, aiming to build a fully autonomous semiconductor supply chain. At the 5th RISC-V Summit China in Shanghai, Alibaba's DAMO Academy introduced new advances in its high-performance RISC-V platform under the XuanTie brand. Concurrently, the Beijing Institute of Open Source Chip (BOSC) confirmed system-level validation of its third-generation 16-core …
