RISC-V Global Forum 2020

Andes V5 RISC-V processor IP solutions have been adopted by a wide range of SoCs: from tiny MCUs for consumer products, to chips for enterprise and datacenter products. For single-processor SoC, Andes DSP or vector processor can cover both control and data processing. For advanced SoC using multiple processors, some V5 cores tackle data-intensive computations while others handles control paths.

In this talk, Dr. Charlie Su will give an overview of Andes processor solutions and control/data path processing in applications. He will then use Andes processors as examples to show how RISC-V processors and their features can provide efficient control/data path processing. Charlie will also introduce Andes Custom Extension™ (ACE) framework and illustrate how it automates RISC-V custom instruction extensions to further accelerate control/data path processing while maintaining programmability.
