Working With The NimbleAI Project To Push The Boundaries Of Neuromorphic Vision
By Tora Fridholm - 27 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

At the end of 2022, the EU kicked off a cool project that aims to implement neuromorphic vision. But what is that? Let’s take a deeper look at the project and our contribution. First, if you are not familiar with Codasip Labs, I want to mention this briefly. Codasip Labs is in fact our innovation hub where we explore new technologies and try to contribute to the technology of the future. ... » read more

RISC-V Vectorization And Potential for HPC
By Technical Paper Link - 26 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Test-driving RISC-V Vector hardware for HPC" was published by researchers at University of Edinburgh. Abstract: "Whilst the RISC-V Vector extension (RVV) has been ratified, at the time of writing both hardware implementations and open source software support are still limited for vectorisation on RISC-V. This is important because vectorisation is crucial to obt... » read more

RISC-V Disrupting EDA
By Brian Bailey - 23 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 3

The electronic design automation (EDA) industry started in the 1980s and primarily was driven by the test and PCB industries. The test industry was focused on simulation so that test vector sets could be developed and optimized. The PCB industry needed help managing complexity as system sizes grew. That complexity soon was eclipsed by IC complexity and the costs associated with making a mist... » read more
