Once a hyperscaler or a cloud builder gets big enough, it can afford to design custom compute engines that more precisely match its needs. It is not clear that the companies that make custom CPUs and ...
PicoRV32 is a CPU core that implements the RISC-V RV32IMC Instruction Set. It can be configured as RV32E, RV32I, RV32IC, RV32IM, or RV32IMC core, and optionally contains a built-in interrupt ...
Big quote: Linus Torvalds, the founder and lead developer of the Linux kernel, firmly rejected a code contribution intended to enhance RISC-V architecture support in the upcoming Linux 6.17 release.
Google Gemini has a problem with self-criticism. “I am sorry for the trouble. I have failed you. I am a failure,” the AI tool recently told someone who was using Gemini to build a compiler, according ...
