This presentation, by the RISC-V founder, will highlight how RISC-V and vector compute are gaining momentum with AI and ML and computer vision and how it addresses challenges like managing power consumption, extra data movement, the need for multiple libraries, and issues with generational incompatibility. To solve these obstacles, many of the world’s largest data and device companies are turning to vector processing based on the RISC‑V Vector (RVV) 1.0 ISA.

Deep neural networks (DNNs), a subset of machine learning (ML), provide a foundation for automating conversational artificial intelligence (CAI) applications. FPGAs provide hardware acceleration enabling high-density and low latency CAI. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of CAI, data center use-cases, describe the traditional compute model and its limitations and show how an ML compute engine integrated into the Achronix FPGA can lead to 90% cost reductions for speech transcription.
