Dear DATE community,

We, the DATE Sponsors Committee (DSC) and the DATE Executive Committee (DEC), are deeply shocked and saddened by the tragedy currently unfolding in Ukraine, and we would like to express our full solidarity with all the people and families affected by the war.

Our thoughts also go out to everyone in Ukraine and Russia, whether they are directly or indirectly affected by the events, and we extend our deep sympathy.

We condemn Russia’s military action in Ukraine, which violates international law. And we call on the different governments to take immediate action to protect everyone in that country, particularly including its civilian population and people affiliated with its universities.

Now more than ever, our DATE community must promote our societal values (justice, freedom, respect, community, and responsibility) and confront this situation collectively and peacefully to end this nonsense war.

DATE Sponsors and Executive Committees.

ET3.8.2 AI from Edge to Cloud: Leveraging RISC-V with DSP, Vector and Custom Instructions

In this talk, Andes Technology will present RISC-V processors for applications ranging from very compact, low power cores used in Sensors to mid-ranged cores in running protocol stacks and doing high-speed control, and number-crunching cores to process high-volume data in parallel. Those highly-configurable AndesCores™ with extensibility and modularity inherited from RISC-V allow designers to use one ISA for all of the workloads. They are also adopted by AI SoC’s with applications from edge to cloud. We will provide an overview of the RISC-V DSP extension for low-data volume workloads like Keyword Spotting and Face detection with low power. For higher data throughput applications, we will introduce the industry-first commercial RISC-V Vector Processor solution and how it can be used to speed up compute-intensive applications. Last but not least, one of RISC-V’s strength is to allow well-defined custom instruction extensions to fulfill Domain Specific Acceleration (DSA) without breaking ISA compatibility. In the end, we will also cover Andes Custom Extensions™, an automation framework to bring DSA capability to the hands of every designer instead of limiting it to just CPU experts.
