RISC-V: an Open Instruction Set Architecture
The benefits of open source have been bestowed upon an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) called RISC-V. One of the earliest, best-known examples of open source technology is Linux. For a widely accepted, official definition of open source, see The Open Source Initiative. Open source does not stop at Linux, however. One of the more recent […]
