MultiVic: A Time-Predictable RISC-V Multi-Core Processor Optimized for Neural Network Inference

Real-time systems, particularly those used in domains like automated driving, are increasingly adopting neural networks. From this trend arises the need for high-performance hardware exhibiting predictable timing behavior. While state-of-the-art real-time hardware often suffers from limited memory and compute resources, modern AI accelerators typically lack the crucial predictability due to memory interference. The authors present a new hardware architecture to bridge this gap between performance and predictability.

Integrating eFPGA for Hybrid Signal Processing Architectures

As system requirements evolve toward multi-standard, reconfigurable platforms, signal processing architectures are under pressure to deliver both ASIC-class performance and software-like flexibility. Semiconductor engineers face a fundamental tradeoff: fixed logic yields, unmatched throughput, and efficiency, but cannot adapt once taped out. Software-programmable solutions offer flexibility but often miss hard real-time performance constraints and can consume more power.

FeNN-DMA: A RISC-V SoC for SNN acceleration

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are a promising, energy-efficient alternative to standard Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and are particularly well-suited to spatio-temporal tasks such as keyword spotting and video classification. However, SNNs have a much lower arithmetic intensity than ANNs and are therefore not well-matched to standard accelerators like GPUs and TPUs. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are designed for such memory-bound workloads and here we develop a novel, fully-programmable RISC-V-based system-on-chip (FeNN-DMA), tailored to simulating SNNs on modern UltraScale+ FPGAs.
