Information

RISC-V is an open standard Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) which enables the open development of CPUs and a shared common software ecosystem. There are already over 10 billion RISC-V cores, which is expected to accelerate rapidly a we progress further into the decade. Nonetheless, for all the successes that RISC-V has faced, it is yet to become popular in HPC. Recent advances however, such as the vectorisation standard and HPC/AI focussed RISC-V-based CPUs, mean that this technology is becoming a more realistic proposition for our workloads. This workshop aims to connect those currently involved in RISC-V with the wider HPC community. We look to bring together RISC-V experts and hardware vendors with scientific software developers, vendors, and supercomputing center operators to explore the advantages, challenges, and opportunities that RISC-V can bring to HPC and AI. Furthermore, we aim to further expand the RISC-V HPC Special Interest Group, enabling interested attendees to join and participate in one of the most exciting open-source technological activities of our time.
Format
On-site
Targeted Audience
We aim for this workshop to appeal to a wide ranging audience, and indeed previous workshops & BoFs have attracted people from across many disciplines. We believe that knowledge and experiences from scientific software and tool developers, vendors, and supercomputing centre operators will be especially relevant to the discussions.
