The Road to the RISC-V Summit: Microchip
October 30, 2023
Story
Microchip is packing up in Chandler, Arizona and will start its trip to the RISC-V Summit in Santa Clara, California, November 7th and 8th, 2023, and November 6 being Member Day. Microchip will be demonstrating its market leading FPGA solutions for the intelligent edge and how it leverages the RISC-V ISA to design heterogenous processing architectures for non-proprietary instruction set architectures.
Microchip’s utilization of RISC-V enables flexible caches, asymmetric processing on single application class clusters (bare metal development), real-time applications, and inferencing for AI/ML.
The platforms meet the needs of edge AI in applications including industrial, communications, medical, automotive, IoT, aviation, and defense. Microchip’s FPGA’s offer the flexibility, power, security, and thermal efficiency when presented with harsh environmental conditions.
The innovative software design tools include High Level Synthesis (HLS) for implementation of C/C++, Software Development Kits (SDKs) for vector-based processing (AI/ML inferencing), and solution stacks delivering industrial automation, and intelligent machine vision.
BeagleBoard will be in attendance highlighting its hardware and other solutions complementing Microchip’s extensive Mi-V Ecosystem.
