Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #sifive, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang invests $400M in SiFive, backing RISC-V as an "ARM killer." After failed ARM acquisition, Nvidia integrates NVLink Fusion into SiFive's RISC-V cores to build an AI server ecosystem without ARM dependency.
    ARM dominates via licensing fees (1-3% per chip) and expands AI CPU lines, clashing with Qualcomm. RISC-V, open and free since 2015, is ideal for AI, data centers, and autonomous driving, offering cost savings and IP control.

  4. #KrsteAsanović, co-founder of #SiFive and a key figure in the development of #RISCV, discusses the #opensource #CPU architecture’s origins and evolution. Initially created for academic research at Berkeley, RISC-V’s modular design allowed for rapid prototyping and software development. The architecture’s openness attracted interest from both academia and industry. morethanmoore.substack.com/p/a #tech #media #news

  9. We've updated our tor relay build script for #RISCV, building #openssl and #tor from source:

    code.disobey.net/EmeraldOnion/

    Notably, to get rid of this tor initialization warning:
    > We were built to run on a 64-bit CPU, with OpenSSL 1.0.1 or later, but with a version of OpenSSL that apparently lacks accelerated support for the NIST P-224 and P-256 groups. Building openssl with such support (using the enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128 option when configuring it) would make ECDH much faster.

    With an added openssl configure target and option:
    > linux64-riscv64 enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128

    Our #SiFive #HiFive RISC-V 256-bits ECDH performance is synthetically boosted:

    From:
    > 256 bits ecdh (nistp256) 0.0029s 340.7

    To:
    > 256 bits ecdh (nistp256) 0.0005s 2057.1

    This is a 6x P-256 handshakes boost, so this should help speed up this Tor exit relay. We are only running one Tor daemon on this hardware to see how well it does.

  14. StarFive VisionFive 2 Lite is a cheap(er) RISC-V single-board computer (crowdfunding)

    The VisionFive 2 Lite is a credit card-sized single-board computer (SBC) that looks a lot like a Raspberry Pi. But it’s actually a smaller, cheaper, and less powerful version of the VisionFive 2 RISC-V SBC that launched a few years ago.

    The new model has a slower version of the same processor and loses a few ports and connectors, but picks up optional support for onboard WiFi and Bluetooth. […]

    The RISC-V cores fall short of Ar #CortexA73 and well short of Intel’s #Goldmont Plus. Mediatek’s In-Order #Genio1200 hyas higher clock speeds and better DRAM latency than C910 and P550. Its #CortexA55 cores are able to catch C910 and P550 without out-of-order execution.
    #SiFive’s P550 and T-HEAD’s Xuantie C910 are both notable for featuring out-of-order execution on RISC-V. Both are plagued by low clock speeds.

  21. Inside #SiFive’s #P550 #RISCV Microarchitecture
    It doesn’t go head-on against likes of AMD’s Zen 5, Intel’s Lion Cove, or Qualcomm’s Oryon. P550’s out-of-order engine is closer in size to something like Intel’s Core 2 from over 15 yrs ago. Combine that with much lower clock speeds than even what Core 2 ran at, and P550 is really a low power core with modest performance. This core aims for “30% higher performance in less than half the area of a comparable Arm Cortex A75.”
