Basics on RISC-V Architecture
The course material will convey both technical and industry requirements to enable proper engineering architectural decisions as well as implementation.
Topics include:
– What is RISC-V
– Why RISC-V
– Purpose of RISC-V International
– RISC-V’s Instruction Set Architecture (ISA)
– Knowing your Processor’s Performance Objectives
– Evaluating your Core’s Performance
– Taking advantage of the open architecture to improve performance
– Developing the Software-Hardware Interface to increase application performance 2-10x
– Does an open standard result in defragmentation of the architecture
– Course project demonstrating application acceleration through RISC-V customization by 2-5x
