On the Containerization and Orchestration of RISC-V architectures for Edge-Cloud computing

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

Claims a working port of the container and orchestration stack to RISC‑V as KubeEdge‑V, built on runC and GCC, and tested on a SiFive Monte Cimone board versus an Nvidia Jetson Xavier. Memory and most app benchmarks match ARM, but system workloads show a ~21% slower context‑switch and an overall ~4% average slowdown (versus ~1% on ARM). Root cause traces to the container runtime layer (not the kernel); deployment guide and scripts are openly available.
