| NVIDIA Ships Over One Billion RISC-V Cores This Year Inside Its Accelerators During the 2024 RISC-V Summit in Santa Clara, California, NVIDIA was one of the presenting members. RISC-V, being a free and open-source instruction set architecture, is an interesting choice for many companies looking to develop custom solutions. NVIDIA designs accelerators for AI and graphics processing, all of which are equipped with up to tens of thousands of cores. To manage these cores, NVIDIA has developed a custom RISC-V processor called "NV-RISCV," which is a replacement for its predecessor "Falcon." Unlike Falcon, NV-RISCV is based on an open-source ISA and is customized much more deeply, with features like more customized caches and special instructions. Initially, the company reported better performance over its Falcon GPU System Processor (GSP), and NV-RISCV is now running in millions of NVIDIA chips. https://www.techpowerup.com/328026/n...cores-per-chip |
