This surprises me, especially since RISC-V wasn't really a thing until around 2010. Not MIPS, SPARC, PowerPC, PA-RISC, ARM, all extant by this period and having a longer history, but RISC-V? What school was this?
- cmrdporcupine 4y agoI suspect the comment author typo'd and meant to write either MIPS or (more likely) Berkeley RISC.
- p_l 4y agoIt's technically correct, because the "V" in RISC-V refers to it being the 5th project from UC Berkeley (after RISC-I, RISC-II, and tenuously naming SOAR as RISC-III, and either SPUR or VLSI-BAM as RISC-IV).
