Projects Innovating Around RISC-V
- IshKebab 3y agoPaywalled...
- codetrotter 3y agoLoaded fine for me. Maybe substack has some limit of number of posts that people without accounts can read and I just haven’t visited all that many posts this month.
- dang 3y agoThe article does end with "The rest of this edition is for paid subscribers" so I guess only part of it is readable via the above link.
- PaulHoule 3y agoAt the very least the article does talk about one whole case study before offering more so there is some substantial free content, it’s an interesting way to partition an article for that. On the other hand the length of the fire part of that article is enough that it is a stand-alone article. The whole thing is starting to look like one of those roundups or listicles that I’d like to teach YOShInOn to suppress (an article about everything isn‘t about something in particular) but the free part of the article is “just right” to me.
- dang 3y agoAgree completely about lists – it's a point I hammer home quite a bit: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=denominator%20lists%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor.... In this case the article seemed more substantial than the usual roundup/list so we invited cpeterso to repost it. Maybe that was the right decision after all :)
- PaulHoule 3y agoIt looks like he just dropped the paywall on the rest of the article, since the rest of the posts are shorter than that first one so I think the length of the article is just fine but really I think each of those cases is worth its own treatment as long as the first.
- snvzz 3y ago>YOShInOn What is this? A cursory search didn't get me anywhere.
- PaulHoule 3y agoIf you searched on Google you probably found an image of a girl in a strange raincoat holding a puppet. The girl is Yoshino 四よ糸し乃 (a real Japanese name with Kanji in it) and the puppet is called Yoshinon よしのん (not a real name, spelled out phonetically.) I’m not going to say I am like that girl (I don’t have a magic green raincoat, never mind a green raincoat at all) but my YOShInOn is named after よしのん. There is also YOSHINON which is the network name of the body that the YOShInOn system inhabits, seen here https://mastodon.social/@UP8/110568695732952713 https://mastodon.social/@UP8/110568695732952713 If you do a search on Hacker News, however, you will find what you are looking for https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=yoshinon&sort=byPopularity&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... in fact probably a lot more than you are looking for. Sorry I have been too busy coding that and another side project to blog about it.

- photonbeam 3y agoChina isn’t going to stop using riscv no matter what the US says It’ll just force them to be self sufficient faster
- londons_explore 3y agoThe US is clearly targeting Google releasing Android for RISC-V, or Qualcomm releasing RISC-V chips which can run RISC-V Android. RISC-V has been an 'obvious' choice for Android for a long time - particularly for lower end devices or set-top-box type designs where the vendor has control of all the software (no third party binaries that need arm emulation). The fact an official RISC-V port is soon to be released, I suspect is the reason behind this activity now.
- photonbeam 3y agoThere will still be US suppliers who want riscv android, so google will still do it. China could still design their own riscv chips and run AOSP without google, so it wouldn’t change much
- londons_explore 3y agoBut without Google making all the app ecosystem support RISC-V, I suspect any RISC-V phone would have a chicken and egg problem - with no apps available, no user would want to run it. Google is in a unique position to solve that by making the toolchain automatically compile for RISC-V as well, and in a matter of months most apps will support it.
- jgalt212 3y agolinked talk > Accelerating ML Recommendation with over a Thousand RISC-V/Tensor Processors Why are they running recommendation engines on nets? I thought this has been proven that this is region where Random Forests / XGBoost outperform nets.
- grandmczeb 3y agoDeep learning-based recommendation models are very popular in industry. Not sure what “proof” you’re referring to, but it’s definitely not the case that random forests outperform DL based approaches in general.
- jgalt212 3y agoI did a bit of deeper dive here, and the evidence remains mixed, but definitely generally in favor of random forests for recommendation. My two cents: Most recommendation engines are far from perfect, and the customer is too often left scratching their heads. Given this, why bear the orders of magnitude more expense to go with with a deep learning solution?
- nxobject 3y agoIf you're interested in low-power embedded, the WCH chip there has two powersaving modes; at 3.3V (it is 5V tolerant). At the lowest-power mode, the whole SoC consumes 9uA, and has a wakeup time of 200us. I wonder how much extra oomph the chip would get if there was a lower-speed power-saving mode – although I am ignorant about whether this would be compatible with SRAM.
- bibanez 3y agoI interned last summer at Esperanto. Glad to see it on the list! It's definitely interesting. Some colleagues worked on porting OpenJourney (fine-tuned stable diffusion) to Et-Soc-1 and it was fast and more efficient than Nvidia gpus!
