Andes in EETimes: "Domain Specific Accelerators Will Drive Vector Processing on RISC-V"
In his EETimes article "Domain Specific Accelerators Will Drive Vector Processing on RISC-V" Board of Directors’ Advisor for Andes Technology, Charlie Cheng, stated: "In the past 15 months, we have seen a great deal of demand for high performance with the addition of a powerful RISC-V vector extension, matching it with a high-bandwidth memory subsystem, and bringing the accelerator closer to the CPU. This is the type of computing requirement we believe will drive the demand for RISC-V and vector processing." For the complete article click here.

IAR Systems and Andes Technology Will Support RISC-V P Extension for Packed-SIMD Instructions
On June 5, EEJournal, published the news that IAR Systems and Andes Technology Launched Support for  the RISC-V P Extension for Packed-SIMD Instructions. Commenting on the news Dr. Chuan  hua Chang, the Chair of RISC-V P extension Task Group and Head of Architecture Division of Andes Technology Corporation stated. “We are excited to partner with IAR Systems to further accelerate the performance of applications based on RISC-V in general and P extension in particular. We have achieved around 9x performance boost of CIFAR-10 inference with RISC-V P extensions. Packed-SIMD provides edge processors more computing power with higher energy efficiency and minimal increase in cost, and such capability empowers edge devices to deal with voice and slow video processing. Together, we provide powerful solutions that will enable our customers to meet and exceed their project requirements.”
