Joining us in this episode is John Simpson from SiFive, who is at the forefront of developing RISC-V processors designed specifically for artificial intelligence workloads. We'll dive deep into the intricacies of vector and matrix architectures, memory systems, and how RISC-V can revolutionize modern machine learning tasks. Together, we’ll explore the architectural trade-offs behind vector-length-agnostic designs, the acceleration of matrix multiplication, and strategies for memory-latency hiding. Plus, we’ll touch on SiFive’s contributions to the evolving matmul standards within the RISC-V community.

every time.
