A network processor design recently announced by Cisco Systems Inc. based on an array of 192 processor cores from Tensilica Inc. (Santa Clara, Calif.) illustrates the trend. Companies like ARC and ...

About SiFive SiFive is the leading provider of processor cores, accelerators, and SoC IP to create domain-specific architecture based on the free and open RISC-V instruction set architecture.

We discussed this “Vector Engine” accelerator card as well as the “SX-Aurora TSUBASA” hybrid CPU-VPU system that NEC has created based on this architecture at length when it was unveiled in October ...

Seymour Cray loved vector supercomputers, and made the second part of that term a household word because of it. NEC, the last of the pure vector supercomputer makers, is so excited about its new ...

Japanese electronics giant NEC has a new processor for machine learning and AI, the Aurora Vector Engine. The question is will anyone use it?

Software-defined radio (SDR), implemented using an advanced programmable digital signal processor (DSP), such as an embedded-vector processor (EVP), holds the solution: a single module block capable ...

Cray plans to create a new supercomputing platform combining four types of processing capability in a blade server architecture.

On the computing side, the processor contains an integer block, a floating point unit, and a vector processor. Clearly, this isn’t a toy processor and has the capability to compete with serious ...

It will be the first to open-source its unified RISC-V Vector CPU-with-GPU Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and provide register-level access to its hardware via a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL).

A job listing posted to Apple's website this week reveals the company is researching RISC-V instruction set architecture solutions, suggesting future in-house chip designs might implement the open ...
