What is RISC-V?

A high-quality, license-free, royalty-free RISC ISA specification originally developed at UC Berkeley

Standard maintained by non-profit RISC-V Foundation Suitable for all types of computing system,

microcontrollers to supercomputers Numerous proprietary and open-source cores Experiencing rapid uptake in industry and academia Supported by growing shared software ecosystem

So what’s all the fuss about?

Its just an ISA right?

How did we get here?

RISC-V Background

In 2010, after many years and many projects using MIPS, SPARC, and x86 as basis of research, the Computer Science team at UC Berkeley to look at what ISAs to use for their next set of projects

Obvious choices: x86 and ARM - x86 impossible – too complex, IP issues - ARM mostly impossible – complex, IP issues

So UC Berkeley started “3-month project” during the summer of 2010 to develop their own clean-slate ISA

RISC-V Background (cont’d)

Four years later, in May of 2014, UC Berkeley released frozen base user spec

- many tapeouts and several research publications along the way The name RISC-V (pronounced risk-five), was chosen to

represent the fifth major RISC ISA design effort at UC Berkeley

- RISC-I, RISC-II, SOAR, and SPUR were the first four projects with the original RISC-I publications dating back to 1981

In August 2015, articles of incorporation were filed to create a non-profit RISC-V Foundation to govern the ISA

Most CPU chips are SoCs with many ISAs

Applications processor Graphics processors Image processors Radio DSPs Audio DSPs Security processors Power-management processor ….

Apps processor ISA too large for base accelerator ISA IP bought from different places, each proprietary ISA Home-grown ISA cores Over a dozen ISAs on some SoCs – each with unique software stack

Why so Many ISAs?

12 March 2019 RISC-V Foundation Taiwan Workshop 11

Do we need all these different ISAs?

Must they be proprietary?

What if there was one free and open ISA everyone could use for everything?

Page 12: RISC-V ISA & FOUNDATION OVERVIEW · 3/9/2019  · RISC-V Background (cont’d) Four years later, in May of 2014, UC Berkeley released frozen base user spec - many tapeouts and several

What’s Different about RISC-V?

Simple - Far smaller than other commercial ISAs

Clean-slate design - Clear separation between user and privileged ISA - Avoids µarchitecture or technology-dependent features

A modular ISA - Small standard base ISA - Multiple standard extensions

Designed for extensibility/specialization - Variable-length instruction encoding - Vast opcode space available for instruction-set extensions

Stable - Base and standard extensions are frozen - Additions via optional extensions, not new versions

RISC-V Foundation Overview

Incorporated August, 2015 as a 501c6 non-profit Foundation Membership Agreement & Bylaws ratified December 2016 The RISC-V ISA and related standards shall remain open and

license-free to all parties - RISC-V ISA specifications shall always be publicly available as an online

download The compliance test suites shall always be publicly available as

a source code download To protect the standard, only members (with commercial

RISC-V products) of the Foundation in good standing can use “RISC-V” and associated trademarks, and only for devices that pass the tests in the open-source compliance suites maintained by the Foundation

RISC-V Foundation Organization

The Board of Directors consists of seven+ members, whose replacements are elected by the membership

The Board can amend the By-Laws of the RISC-V foundation via a two-thirds affirmative vote

The Board appoints chairs of ad-hoc committees to address issues concerning RISC-V, and has the final vote of approval of the recommendation of the ad-hoc committees.

- Technical Committee Chair – Yunsup Lee, SiFive - Security Standing Committee Chair - Helena Handschuh, Rambus - Marketing Committee Chair – Ted Marena, Western Digital

All members of committees must be members of the RISC-V Foundation
