RISC-V 3D GPU design appears at Embedded World 2022 by Think Silicon
Think Silicon showcased the company’s new NEOX G-Series and A-Series, the company’s first RISC-V-based low-power GPUs. In the press release for Think Silicon’s demonstration at this year’s Embedded World, the company explains: On Think Silicon’s NEOX RISC-V GPU IP product page, the company gives further details of the new architecture: Michael Larabel of Linux website Phoronix details a previous community-based GPU design, the “Libre RISC-V,” which would have the same essentials through a system-on-chip design as Think Silicon. The project is still in development and is not as close as Think Silicon’s current plans. Larabel states that the Libre RISC-V will utilize the OpenPOWER ISA, “a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture (ISA) currently developed by the OpenPOWER Foundation,” which is currently overseen by IBM. The project was initially developed by IBM and the Power.org industry group, which is now presently defunct.
