Welcome Remark

王其國 博士 | 台灣物聯網產業技術協會 理事長

The automotive and data center industries are experiencing a surge in the quantity and complexity of semiconductor content. Along with traditional performance, power, and area objectives, these markets also require dependability, which includes functional safety, reliability, and availability. Therefore, semiconductors for these applications must be both reliable, reducing their likelihood of failure, and resilient, improving their ability to recover from failure. This presentation reviews some of the challenges associated with achieving these objectives and explores how automation and standardization can play a vital role in meeting these new requirements.

Tech Talk 1

蘇泓萌 博士 | 晶心科技 總經理暨技術長

RISC-V has rapidly gained traction across a wide range of applications, including automotive, 5G/networking, MCU/MPU, multimedia, storage, sensor processing, wearables, and wireless connectivity. Particularly prominent are emerging AI/ML applications from edge to cloud. As the RTOS, Linux, and Android ecosystems for RISC-V continue to mature, RISC-V cores are increasingly being used as main CPUs in embedded devices, personal computing and even servers. These advancements are significantly boosting RISC-V's market presence in the computing industry in the coming years.

In this talk, we will discuss four key elements in modern computing: namely AI/ML Accelerations, Embedded and Real-Time Processing, Safety and Security, and Application Processing. We will then show how the RISC-V architecture and ecosystem address them, using Andes solutions as examples.

Tech Talk 2

Wei-Han, Lien | Chief Architect and Senior Fellow, Tenstorrent

As artificial intelligence and autonomous systems become increasingly pervasive, the demand for scalable, high-performance, and open computing platforms is more critical than ever. This presentation outlines Tenstorrent’s approach to advancing RISC-V beyond its embedded roots into mainstream high-performance and automotive markets through mature IP and modular architecture. We introduce Tenstorrent’s RISC-V CPU roadmap, featuring the Ascalon and Callandor cores, designed for high SPECINT performance, and the Ascalon-Auto variant, which incorporates ISO 26262-compliant safety features for ADAS and autonomous driving applications. These processors are implemented using chiplet-based design and are paired with Tensix AI accelerators, enabling efficient support for AI workloads across edge devices, data centers, and automotive platforms. Central to this platform strategy is the Open Chiplet Architecture (OCA)—a layered, open standard that facilitates interoperability across chiplets from different vendors. OCA standardizes interfaces across software, system management, transport, and physical layers, enabling modular, composable system integration and fostering a collaborative ecosystem for heterogeneous compute systems.

Together, these technologies represent a unified hardware-software strategy to support ubiquitous AI computing. They position RISC-V as a competitive, open alternative to proprietary architectures, ready to power the next generation of AI-enabled and automotive systems. This presentation underscores the role of openness, scalability, and performance in shaping the future of personalized and distributed intelligence through high-performance RISC-V platforms.

透過開源協作釋放 RISC-V 的潛力

Ian Ferguson | Vice President of Vertical Markets and Business Development, SiFive

源自於對開放和協作的承諾,RISC-V 生態系統正在快速地演進。本次演講探討了 RISC-V 的發展動能,聚焦其超越 Arm 等現有架構的潛力,並強調動員其軟體生態系統的重要性。我們將深入研究促進這種成長的關鍵策略:加強協作和社區參與、投資基礎軟體堆疊組件以及致力於迭代性能優化。

本次演講將介紹 RISE 計畫,一項旨在推動開源軟體的創建、優化和上游化而令人興奮的合作。這些軟體將會被 RISC-V 生態系統有效地利用。 我們相信,RISC-V 為亞洲公司、尤其是台灣公司企業提供了絕佳的機會。透過硬體和軟體層面的創新,為客戶提供更高的價值。 本演講將討論一些具體範例,展示如何將為特定目的優化的硬體與開源技術結合,解鎖 RISC-V 的所有潛力,為未來鋪設由開放、協作和前瞻性技術所定義的道路。 為開放、協作和前瞻性技術定義的未來鋪平道路。

RVA23 設定檔和平台規格對推動 RISC-V 生態系發展的重要意義

Mark Hayter |Rivos Inc. 共同創辦人兼首席策略官

標準 ISA 對於硬體和軟體生態系的發展至關重要,其可促進相容性、創新和採用。它們必須隨著時間的推移而發展,就像 x86 和 Arm 架構版本中的功能位元一樣。RVA23 設定檔代表了 RISC-V 架構的一項關鍵發展,它標準化了 64 位元應用處理器 ISA,以實現跨硬體設備的軟體可攜性。因此簡化了產品開發,並因二元程式碼的相容性,讓RISC-V廣泛應用在伺服器,汽車,及客戶端產品。本次演講將介紹 RVA23 對高性能應用處理器的影響,及其在不同應用場景的採用。

RVA23 設定檔引入了重要功能,包括 Vector 和 Hypervisor 擴展,旨在滿足高效能運算的需求。 Vector 擴展增強了 RISC-V 的平行資料處理,有利於機器學習和科學計算等工作負載。 Hypervisor 擴充功能支援伺服器虛擬化,支援可擴充​​且安全的雲端基礎架構和企業應用程式。

RVA23
設定檔的一個核心優勢是確保各種硬體實現的軟體相容性,從而能夠分發可在不同的 RISC-V 供應商之間運行的二進位套件。這對於 Linux 發行版(如 Ubuntu、RHEL)和 Android 尤其有用,其中應用程式以適用於所有用戶的二進位形式下載。 RVA23 設定檔定義了編譯器可以安全地為所有實用進行編譯的指令集。

完全啟用 Linux
發行版需要確定平台規格所提供的硬體和韌體功能。伺服器平台規格不僅描述了對 RVA23 設定檔的需求,還描述了伺服器 SoC 規格中的硬體需求以及引導和執行時間服務規格中的韌體詳細資訊。

對於開發 64 位元伺服器處理器的公司來說,採用 RVA23 設定檔和伺服器平台規格可確保一致的軟體分發、相容性和高效能。

Enabling NPU AI Compute entirely on RISC-V ISA

Roger Espasa | Founder & CEO, Semidynamics

In recent deployments, RISC-V has been used in AI applications, primarily for controlling or supporting AI algorithms. To address NPU applications, custom hardware has traditionally been placed adjacent to the RISC-V CPU, effectively shifting the pre-RISC-V proprietary accelerator approach into the RISC-V ecosystem—bringing the same legacy restrictions into the open ISA RISC-V world.

Semidynamics' novel approach eliminates this issue by introducing a RISC-V ISA-only, performance-optimized compute engine that integrates CPU, vector, and tensor operations into a single compute element. This innovation enables RISC-V to enter the previously unaddressed NPU marketplace. With configurable performance ranging from 8 to 64 TOPS, this RISC-V engine delivers efficient AI acceleration for LLMs, deep learning, edge AI, and datacenters.
