E4 Computer Engineering joins RISC-V International

The firm aims to encourage the progress and software of the RISC-V open conventional in ecosystems for HPC apps

Scandiano (RE), Could 3rd 2022 E4 Computer Engineering (E4) has officially joined RISC-V Global (RISC-V), which promotes the improvement of an ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) based mostly on open source rules.

E4 hence joins organizations these as Google, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, IBM and Samsung, amid the several users of RISC-V and will lead to the improvement of the ecosystem with its know-how and competencies to actively market servers enhancement, showcasing ISA RISC-V, which presents competitive overall performance.

Based mostly in Switzerland, RISC-V has broken down obstacles in the semiconductor business by bringing together diverse companies, sectors and geographies for open collaboration. RISC-V combines a modular specialized solution with an open licensing business design, which signifies that any person, everywhere, can consider edge of the IP contributed and made by RISC-V.

RISC-V now has far more than 2,700 members, which includes perfectly-acknowledged and really specialised providers in the environment of technological innovation, all with the desire to innovate by pooling their techniques. RISC-V’s aim is to break organization and technological barriers imposed by proprietary styles in the processor and ISA industry, concentrating on an open source method, particularly in the embedded, cloud and HPC sectors.

E4 previously features concrete and considerable working experience in this spot: in 2020 it created, with the University of Bologna and CINECA, the Monte Cimone cluster, a RISC-V dependent cluster aimed at growth activities and functionality evaluations, and is now functioning on a identical task with the College of Turin.

“Over the several years, E4 has set itself the continuous target of checking out the most ground breaking and highly developed technologies and their possible impression on investigation initiatives”, explains Cosimo Gianfreda, CEO of E4 Computer system Engineering. “Our products and solutions have been designed with consumer requirements, with the purpose of building these systems person-helpful, although offering maximum functionality at the cheapest TCO. RISC-V represents a crucial opportunity for co-structure and development of revolutionary technologies and it is a important phase forward in proposing higher-tech and strength-economical methods.”

“We are excited to welcome E4 Laptop Engineering into the RISC-V member neighborhood, afirming the common target of shared innovation that advantages stakeholders throughout the industry and close to the world. E4 strengthens the RISC-V HPC leadership in Europe and builds on the collaboration that has designed among in excess of the years”, points out Calista Redmond, CEO of RISC-V International. “Shared capabilities and skills will development cutting-edge technologies to meet up with the expanding needs of a sector in frequent, and over all, rapid evolution.”
