RISC-V at NVIDIA: One Architecture, Dozens of Applications, Billions of Processors

By Frans Sijstermans, Vice President Multimedia Arch/ASIC, NVIDIA

Nine years ago, NVIDIA selected RISC-V for its embedded microcontrollers. Since then, we developed many processors and software stacks, all based on a common underlying hardware and software architecture. Today, every NVIDIA chip comes with multiple embedded RISC-V microcontrollers, each customized for a specific application. In the presentation, we will discuss our architecture as well as several applications. RISC-V’s rich feature set, configurability, extensibility, and active community are reasons why we stand by our 2015 decision to use RISC-V.
