Keynote: RISC V – Enabling A New Era Of Open Data-Centric Computing Architectures
summary
Western Digital commits to transition one billion cores to RISC‑V across its product portfolio, targets first RISC‑V devices around late 2019–2020, and invests in high‑end core developer Esperanto. Work focuses on purpose‑built processors and open‑source IP blocks to enable storage‑ and memory‑centric systems that process data where it lives, adding custom instructions on-device rather than moving data to CPUs, with the goal of accelerating edge, fast‑data and big‑data workloads.
