Ultra-low-power RISC-V based GPU Processor

Overview

NEOX™ is a parallel multicore and multithreaded GPU architecture based on the RISC-V RV64IMFC instruction set with adaptive NoC. The number of cores varies from 4 to 64 organized in 1-16 cluster elements, each configured for cache sizes and thread counts. Depending on cluster/core configuration, NEOX™ compute power ranges from 12.8 to 409.6 GFLOPS at 800MHz with support for FP16, and FP32, and SIMD instructions.
