SiFive has announced RISC-V core intellectual property for data centre processors. Called P870-D, it is an update of the non-data centre P870, with support added for AMBA CHI protocol. “By harnessing a standard CHI bus,” said SiFive, “the P870-D enables SiFive’s customers to scale up to 256 cores while harnessing industry-standard protocols including CXL [Compute Express Link] and CHI C2C [chip ...

The AI explosion has been driving the semi-industry since 2020, says IPNest. AI processing, based on GPU, needs to be as powerful as possible, but a system will reach optimum only if it can rely on top interconnects. The various sub-system parts (memory, processor, co-processor, network) need to be connected with interface links with ever more bandwidth and lower latency: ...

Ubotica, the space AI specialist, is highlighting what it describes as a significant milestone in Live Earth Intelligence for its CogniSAT-6 satellite mission. It is has achieved successful onboard AI detection of objects on Earth and also the immediate relay of insight data to users on the ground. The Dublin-based company says it marks the world’s first commercial deployment of ...
