2026-06-09 –, Plenary
Across applications from low-power embedded to High Performance Computing, the success of the RISC-V ISA is directly tied to the maturity of software support and enablement. In this panel we bring experts together from across the RISC-V ecosystem and beyond, to debate the current state of the RISC-V software enablement and discuss future priorities.
RISC-V already has strong compiler support, but what have been the most recent performance optimizations, and what do we need to prioritize in terms of next developments?
What does compiler support look like for specific use cases, like safety certification for automotive, or vectorization for AI?
Rust is increasing in use across Linux and Zephyr. What is the status of RUST support on RISC-V
How can the RISC-V ecosystem and the Linux development team work together more efficiently?
How mature is the support for the open source software ecosystem beyond compilers?
What software infrastructure are we missing and what should we prioritize?
What does software support look like as we move beyond profiles to platforms?
What does software compatibility look like for a single ISA that scales from MCU to HPC, but relies on specific profiles and extensions?
How will the use of AI in software development accelerate porting to RISC-V?
