Andes Technology Showcases Leadership in AI and Automotive Applications at RISC-V Summit Europe 2024

Industry-leading RISC-V solutions and live demonstrations of CPU IP are all on display at Booth #8. Discover the latest advancements from Andes’ presentations and posters!

Munich, Germany – June 21, 2024 – Andes Technology Corporation, a leading provider of high efficiency, low-power 32/64-bit RISC-V processor cores and a Founding Premier member of RISC-V International, is pleased to announce its participation in RISC-V Summit Europe 2024, the prestigious annual event held from June 24 to 28, 2024, in Munich. As a significant contributor, Andes will have presentations to highlight its comprehensive lineup of RISC-V IP and also feature its cutting-edge RISC-V development in the poster session. Andes will demonstrate its leadership in AI and automotive technology as well as showcase the latest QiLai SoC and its development board for RISC-V SW development at booth #8.

Frankwell Lin, Andes Chairman and CEO, will spotlight Andes RISC-V IP portfolio, robust partner ecosystem and latest processors, including an automotive-grade ISO26262 certified core and an out-of-order CPU in the demo theatre speech “Andes High Value RISC-V Processors and Their Applications” on June 25 at 1:10 PM. Chun-Nan Ke, Andes Senior Technical Manager, will delve into how matrix extension and customized quantization instructions for RISC-V can improve general convolutional neural network (CNN) applications in his presentation “Enhancing Convolutional Neural Network Computation with Integrated Matrix Extension” on June 25 at 12:15 PM. Lastly, Vince Wu, Andes Sales Manager, will share compelling customer success stories in the demo talk “Andes RISC-V, Everywhere in Our Life!” on June 25 at 4:20 PM.

Andes, playing a crucial role in the RISC-V community, will exhibit four posters at the poster session. The topics covered include Andes’ ecosystem approach to drive RISC-V adoption in automotive, insights into IOPMP, MobileBERT on RISC-V, and integrated matrix extension. Visit and engage with Andes speakers to gain deeper insights into how these technologies are shaping and revolutionizing RISC-V computing.

The display of QiLai SoC and the Voyager development board will be one of the highlights of the event. The QiLai SoC includes high performance quad-core RISC-V AX45MP cluster and one NX27V vector processor. The Voyager is a 9.6” x 9.6” Micro ATX form factor development board including a QiLai SoC and a multitude of peripherals. The AndesCore™ AX45MP superscalar multicore contains a 2MB Level-2 cache and a MMU (Memory Management Unit) for Linux based applications. The AndesCore™ NX27V vector processor supports a full range of RISC-V standard data types and Andes-enhanced data types optimized for AI workloads. Manufactured at TSMC advanced 7nm process technology, the QiLai SoC and its Voyager development board demonstrate live Andes’ commitment to enable RISC-V software development. The QiLai SoC and the Voyager development board will be exhibited at both Andes booth and the Developer Zone. Take this opportunity to witness the premiere of Andes cutting-edge RISC-V technology.

In addition, Andes will proudly showcase development boards with AndesCore-based SoC from customers at booth #8. These boards include the Tinker V, the first RISC-V Single-Board Computer (SBC) from ASUS IoT; an MPU development board from Renesas; an AI development kit with a camera module from Canaan. Visit booth #8 to engage in one-on-one discussion with Andes experts and experience live demonstrations of advanced CPU IP technology.
