SiFive

The advent of generative AI has brought an increased focus on datacenter design and optimization. With SiFive’s solutions, companies can meet today’s performance and efficiency challenges in the datacenter to power the latest AI workloads. Read more in our new blog post: https://hubs.la/Q03bbQgg0

From Ada's vision to Grace's languages, and Xia's foundational work, women have always been at the forefront of technology. We stand on the shoulders of these greats, whose pioneering work shaped the foundations of computing. Today, we celebrate not only their legacy, but also the countless women who are coding, leading, innovating and supporting in the industry right now. Your brilliance is driving the future!

Happy Employee Appreciation Day to our incredible SiFive team! Your hard work and innovation drive us forward. Thank you for all that you do! 👏

We had a great time at RISC-V Day Tokyo! We enjoyed engaging with the community and seeing exciting RISC-V technology in action. A huge thank you to Prof. Amano and Ms. Nitami from the University of Tokyo for preparing the excellent demos featuring the SiFive E2 core.

Jeff Geerling takes an in-depth look at the HiFive Premier P550! His verdict? A powerful step forward for RISC-V with exciting potential. Check out the full review: https://lnkd.in/evFjGkUK

In today's video I test the SiFive HiFive Premier P550, the fastest RISC-V development board I've used: https://lnkd.in/gxQt8wsB ESWIN made a special case for this Mini-DTX board (like Mini ITX but a slight bit wider), and the board already has tons of the hardware working in Ubuntu, Debian, & Fedora. Performance is... well... you have to grade RISC-V on a sliding scale, as the architecture is still in its (relative) infancy. All my benchmarks, test data, notes, etc. are linked through my blog post: https://lnkd.in/gvtNrXKV In some excellent news, PCIe is well-supported (though still not perfect). Many AMD GPUs work out of the box, and I was able to run SuperTuxKart (a native Linux OpenGL game) using the DINK graphics backend, to get 50 fps on high settings. Emulating a AAA game from Windows—from 10 years ago—is also possible thanks to Box64/Box32 and Wine + DXVK. I got The Witcher 3 running... okay-ish (It was more like... 'slideshow-ing', lol — see the video linked above for example gameplay) Finally, I tested a more modern AMD GPU (RX 6700 XT) on the board, though the little Flex ATX PSU was probably not all that happy I was adapting it's CPU 8 pin connector into 2x PCI 8 pins. Though this setup was not even _close_ to overheating and catching fire, unlike Nvidia ;)

We’re hitting the stage at #RISCVDayTokyo on Feb. 27! Catch our talk at 10:35 a.m. on how SiFive is leading the RISC-V revolution in the AI compute era. Swing by booth F to see how we’re shaping the future of computing: https://hubs.la/Q038fVLC0
