The Genius of the RISC-V Microprocessor - Erik Engheim - NDC TechTown 2021

Isn't RISC-V just the Linux of microprocessors? No, and in this talk we will instead focus on the innovative instruction extension mechanism and clever design choices of the RISC-V architecture. We will look at what makes RISC-V so different and what it means to the future of the industry as well as software developers. This will be an intro to how modern CPUs work with an emphasis on RISC-V design choices compared to x86 and ARM processors. We will cover concepts such as compressed instruction sets, macro-fusion and micro-operations. Then we will talk about why the RISC-V design makes it favored by startups trying to revolutionize machine learning, high performance computing and embedded systems.
