Supporting quotations from industry partners:
SiFive has assembled an array of ecosystem partners to help customers speed their time to commercialization.
"We have collaborated with SiFive to deliver Cadence AI-driven digital full flow Rapid Adoption Kits (RAKs) for previous generation SiFive Performance™ and Intelligence™ RISC-V processors and are looking forward to producing them for the upcoming P870 and X390 processors" said KT Moore, vice president of Corporate Marketing, Cadence. "The RAKs utilize our leading Generative AI solutions that optimize power, performance and area while our system verification solutions enable optimal verification throughput and productivity. This empowers SiFive customers to accelerate time-to-market, enhance product quality, and deliver innovative solutions for high-performance computing, AI, automotive, and mobile applications."
“Canonical’s strategic alliance with SiFive, a RISC-V CPU IP leader, grants us exclusive privileges, including early access to their cutting-edge processors under development. Canonical has ported Ubuntu to SiFive development systems in the past and is working to have Ubuntu ready at launch with the SiFive HiFive Pro P550 and future platforms,” said Cindy Goldberg, Vice President, Silicon Alliances at Canonical. “We see a growing demand for SiFive RISC-V processors and recognize the opportunity across consumer, automotive and infrastructure markets. Ubuntu is the operating system of choice for infrastructure and cloud use cases. This year with the introduction of Ubuntu Pro we have enhanced security, compliance and support coverage across a broad portfolio of open source software and platform architectures. The combination of SiFive’s RISC-V IP and Canonical’s software is a combination that will lead the transformative future in computing, on RISC-V.”
“As an early RISC-V adopter and industry leader for delivering production-proven, safety-certified development tools, C/C+ compilers and operating systems for RISC-V, Green Hills Software is excited to be expanding its close working relationship with SiFive by adding optimized support for the P870 and X390.” said Dan Mender, VP of Business Development at Green Hills Software. “Together, Green Hills and SiFive will help companies realize the maximum performance, power, and area benefit possible for these new SiFive offerings.”
“IAR welcomes the new SiFive Performance P870 and Intelligence X390 RISC-V processors and recognizes their opportunity for generative AI and ML as well as high-performance computing applications addressing consumer, automotive, and infrastructure. IAR and SiFive have a strong partnership and stand out in the RISC-V ecosystem. SiFive enables IAR with early access its leading commercial RISC-V IP processors while they are under development, enabling co-optimizations benefiting mutual customers. IAR’s complete development solution for all the leading RISC-V core IP from SiFive helps embedded software developers around the world maximize the energy efficiency, simplicity, security, and flexibility upsides that RISC-V and SiFive offer, like the latest additions for Generative AI/ML applications.”
“As the world leader in debugging and trace tools used by all major and well-known technology companies, Lauterbach has been committed to supporting the RISC-V ecosystem from the beginning and is a close long-term partner of SiFive, a leading provider of RISC-V CPU IP. Currently, we see a strong growing global demand for RISC-V based processors including generative AI and ML applications as well as high performance compute across consumer, automotive, and infrastructure markets, all markets in which we have been successfully active for many years. Our early access to SiFive's processors under development allows both SiFive and Lauterbach to co-optimize their products for an optimal user experience.” Norbert Weiss, Managing Director, Lauterbach GmbH
"SiFive has been instrumental in bringing the RISC-V architecture to Automotive Grade Linux and providing additional hardware options for automakers and suppliers, many of whom are already using the open source AGL platform in production," said Dan Cauchy, Executive Director of Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), an open source project at The Linux Foundation. "SiFive is an active AGL member, and we look forward to their continued collaboration with the broader community."
“The growth of AI and machine learning systems is driving significant compute demands in application-specific processors. Our collaboration with SiFive to provide co-optimized solutions including Synopsys.ai™ full-stack AI-driven EDA suite and Fusion QuickStart Implementation Kits, along with Synopsys Interface and Foundation IP, hardware-assisted verification, and virtual prototyping solutions help mutual customers accelerate the design of high-performance, RISC-V-based SoCs.” Kiran Vittal, Senior Director of Partner Alliances Marketing for the EDA Group, Synopsys.
