The Rapid Rise of RISC‑V

Jack Kang, SVP, Business Development, Customer Experience, and Corporate Marketing at SiFive

SiFive is aiming high with bold new technology for performance-driven applications
SiFive transformed in 2021 and grew from leading RISC-V for embedded products into performance-demanding markets, creating real choice in the semiconductor processor IP market. Now, the SiFive portfolio features three distinct, market-focused product families, based on market requirements ranging from high-performance applications, machine learning and artificial intelligence processing, to embedded real-time deterministic and small application processors. Our RISC-V IP portfolio is designed around our focus to deliver processor IP for these demanding markets, combining the unlimited potential of RISC-V with the experience and talent of our team.

This rapid progress was made possible by our partners and customers who believe and invest in RISC-V and the freedom it represents for technology. RISC-V has no limits, and all of us at SiFive are thankful and grateful for all our partner’s support in creating new products for the untapped potential of new and fast growing markets. In 2021, we reached significant milestones for our company with over 300 design wins at more than 100 companies, including 8 of the top 10 semiconductor companies; and we launched our new SiFive Intelligence™, SiFive Performance™, and SiFive Essential™ product brands with class-leading products in each family.

A Breakout Year
In 2021 we launched several new products. Most recently, we expanded the SiFive Essential family with the introduction of the SiFive Essential 6-Series processors, designed for mid-range applications; we also introduced the SiFive Performance P650, our fastest RISC-V processor, which will be available to lead customers in Q1 2022. Earlier this year we launched the SiFive Intelligence X280 for AI/ML markets, featuring SiFive Intelligence Extensions that build upon the RISC-V Vector extension to provide a platform for AI & ML with enhanced data types and support for TensorFlow Lite. The SiFive Intelligence X280 is a great inference processor and may be combined with existing hardened AI IP to enhance programmability and scalability by offering scalar and vector capabilities. The SiFive Performance P550 and SiFive Performance P270 processors for performance driven markets were also introduced in 2021, with up to 8-core coherent clusters and multiple clusters in an SoC, with heterogeneous mix+match options to allow for the right mix of processing capabilities.

The RISC-V ecosystem has moved forward significantly in 2021 with important specifications ratified that unlock and enable hardware and software development in key markets. Working alongside the RISC-V community has been a pleasure for the many SiFive employees who contribute to the technical groups that develop RISC-V specifications as we all work together to build the technology and tools needed for virtualization, advanced interrupts, vector processing, and more.

Building IP based on these new specifications is a key goal for SiFive, enabling our customers to quickly adopt the ratified standards. In 2021, SiFive offered three releases using our relentless innovation methodology to deliver new features in a software-like manner across our portfolio. SiFive increased efficiency and performance across our RISC-V processors, and introduced new features for cluster scalability, security, advanced power monitoring and control, and virtualization.

Raising The Bar in 2022
In 2022, we’ll continue to deliver high performance processor IP that will enable the creation of new computing platforms. From the metaverse to autonomous vehicles, natural language processing, recommendation systems, client computing devices and more, there is massive demand for RISC-V. We’re making the most of this demand by continuing to deliver high-performance processor IP packed full of performance and accompanied by the features our customers and partners require. If you didn’t catch them already, you can see some great pointers on what we’re doing in these talks from the 2021 RISC-V Summit:

If you’d like to be part of the rapid rise of RISC-V, SiFive is looking for talented individuals in many areas. You’ll work alongside the inventors of RISC-V and leaders in the semiconductor industry as we design, develop, and deploy RISC-V technology for a variety of computing challenges. Please look at our careers page here for more information and take the next step to be part of the unlimited future of RISC-V!

Kronos 如何做到世界級的成績

  由資深華爾街投資人領軍於 2018 年成立,Kronos Research 結合人工智慧、機器學習、高速網路等先進技術,透過進階的資料分析開發出獨家的量化交易預測模型,並使用全自動的交易策略自營,同時作為加密貨幣造市商,提供全球加密貨幣商品的即時報價。至今四年的時間,便擠身全球前五大的加密貨幣量交易團隊,創下 2021 年每日平均交易額 50 億美金,單日最高交易額 230 億美金的記錄。 人才和技術是 Kronos 最重要的兩大要素,團隊採開放式合作、解決問題導向、美式工作風格,Kronos 期許任何職位的夥伴,都能信任彼此、安心發問、共同快速解決問題。主管的管理策略,不同於傳統上對下的管理,而是以幫助者的角色,解決不同的需求,放大每個職位的生產力。我們希望這個產業在台灣能夠茁壯,讓台灣的技術人才知道有這個國際舞台可以發揮。 一窺量化交易技術及團隊 高頻交易跟一般大家熟知的交易最大的差距在於自動化。我們熟知的交易模式多半透過人工,由交易員綜合市場資訊後向交易所下單;高頻交易則是由程式自動判斷市場資訊並且下單。高頻交易多半關注短時間的市場波動,在收到市場報價後,在極短時間透過預先訓練的統計模型做出買賣決策。在高額報酬的背後,結合了不同專業:包括資料科學、統計與機器學習、底層系統優化、以及分散式系統。 高頻交易的流程,從 Market Data Parser 作為源頭持續搜集來自交易所的歷史資料,交由 Alpha Modeling 訓練出可預測未來短時間市場變動的模型。接著交易團隊撰寫策略程式,並依據策略需要套用選擇合適的 Alpha 模型,由極低延遲的交易程式向交易所下單。以下是各模塊的介紹: Market Data Parser(Data Team):高頻交易是一個資料驅動的行業,全面且高正確率的資料對於後續訓練很重要。Kronos Research 在全球十多個機房內有數百台服務器,每天 24 小時不間斷錄製來自交易所的報價單。面對每天 10TB+ 的巨量資料,data team 大量使用雲端分散技術以及自動化技術確保資料流的穩定。 Alpha Modeling(Alpha Team):在投資市場中,Alpha 代表著高於大盤的超額收益,Alpha Model 則代表預測將來市場的數學模型。Alpha Team 透過統計以及機器學習,以敏銳的邏輯跟觀...
