Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dave Altavilla is a Tech Analyst covering chips, compute and AI. For decades, chip architectures have been dominated by a pair of ...
Old-timers might recall the idea of "RISC" as a once-upon-a-time processor design ideology. RISC processors were mostly used for servers from Sun Microsystems, DEC, and other companies of a bygone era ...
The rise of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) is accelerating the adoption of RISC-V, the open-source instruction set architecture that is reshaping the global semiconductor landscape. At the ...
Boundless, the decentralized zero-knowledge (ZK) compute marketplace powered by RISC Zero, has launched its incentivized testnet (which it is calling “Mainnet Beta”) on Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum layer ...
RISC-V, pronounced “risk five,” is a modern open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) based on reduced instruction set computer (RISC) principles. In simple terms, it’s like a blueprint that ...
RISC-V architecture is an open, international standard governing how software interfaces with hardware in a computer. It serves as a shared language that sets the parameters for communication and ...
Have you ever wondered if there’s a way to break free from the dominance of proprietary computing architectures like x86 and ARM? For decades, these platforms have dictated the rules of the game, ...
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin shared a new proposal over the weekend that would radically overhaul the system that powers its smart contracts. Buterin's suggestion, which he posted on Ethereum's ...
