RISC-V
Transforming the process of innovation
Exploring, deepening, and applying cutting-edge technologies in areas like automation, data science and the Internet of things, now INTERA is strongly betting in developing embedded AI solutions and accelerators focusing on optimizing computing performance, to make AI applications more efficient and more accesible to people.
RISC-V design
INTERA AI leveraging an industry-standard ISA like RISC-V provides several advantages, including improved cross-platform compatibility, enhanced security through open-source oversight, and reduced licensing costs.
The porting of TensorFlow lite onto RISC-V processors further expands the ecosystem’s capabilities for Edge AI applications, enabling developers to integrate machine learning algorithms into a wide range of embedded systems for tasks such as sensor data evaluation, gesture control, and vibration analysis, among others.
Our RISC-V design includes:
Seamless Integration
INTERAs’ technology simplifies the integration of RISC-V cores with other intellectual property (IP) blocks, enabling the creation of complex devices that are both functional and efficient.
Our engineers use this method to improve performance, reduce power consumption, and increase scalability in various applications, including embedded systems, IoT devices, and data processing systems.
Simplicity
Our RISC-V architecture emphasizes simplicity and efficiency ultimately leading to fewer instructions that are easier to decode and execute.
Our streamlined approach not only minimizes hardware complexity, making it more cost-effective to implement, but also enhances power efficiency, reducing overall energy consumption.
Modularity
We emphasize the ISA approach, featuring a compact base set of instructions complemented by optional extensions, to enable designers to customize their implementations.
This flexibility not only optimizes performance and resource utilization but also allows for a more manageable complexity in the design process, as developers can selectively incorporate additional features that fit their needs without burdening the core architecture.
Extensibility
For allowing for the addition of custom instructions, enabling companies and developers to tailor applications to their specific needs while maintaining compatibility with existing systems.
This is one of our features that promotes innovation and adaptability, as it provides a structured way to extend functionality without disrupting core operations or requiring extensive rewrites.
Problem Solved?
Our unique approach to RISC-V configuration solves a range of problems in the world of computing hardware by offering a flexible, cost-effective, and customizable alternative. Our design and ecosystem tackle challenges faced by developers, manufacturers, and industries.
High Licensing Costs
Proprietary ISAs often come with expensive licensing fees, limiting access for smaller companies or startups. Our RISC-V approach reduces barriers to entry and enables innovation across industries.
Customization Limitations
Proprietary ISAs restrict modifications to suit specific use cases. Our RISC-V’s modular design lets developers tailor the ISA by adding or removing instructions, optimizing applications like IoT, AI, automotive, or high-performance computing.
Vendor Lock-In
Companies will not be tied to specific vendors for tools, software, and hardware. Our RISC-V’s open ecosystem allows developers to customize and choose components freely, fostering competition and flexibility.
Fragmentation in Hardware Design
The closed nature of some ISAs can lead to fragmented ecosystems. Our RISC-V provides a standardized, universal ISA that supports diverse hardware implementations, promoting interoperability and reducing development complexity.
