The global nature of RISC-V is one of its greatest strengths. The RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) is constantly developed and evolved by member organizations worldwide, with contributors working together on new features and capabilities across geographies and time zones. In turn, the RISC-V ISA provides the basis for the future of global computing innovation, addressing the diverse needs of countries, companies, educators and individuals.
In this session we bring together representatives of the RISC-V community from different continents to discuss the nature of a worldwide ecosystem. We will discuss the realities of RISC-V in different geographies:
How the ISA drives innovation and solves specific local problems
How RISC-V unlocks the potential of a global marketplace.
The importance of digital sovereignty, and different approaches to research, education and training a new generation of engineers.
Explore the tension between collaboration and competition.
How are RISC-V members working together and supporting each other? Where does their location give them a competitive edge?
Opportunities and challenges in cross-continent collaboration. Lessons learnt.
Join us to learn the global lessons of RISC-V deployment!
