We completed our tour through South America, which included tech symposiums and workshops in São Paulo, Porto Alegre, Montevideo, Buenos Aires and Bucaramanga. We are proud to have co-hosted these events with South America’s most prestigious universities, including the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo (Poli-USP), the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), the Universidad Católica del Uruguay (UCU), the University of Bueno Aires (UBA), the Universidad Industrial de Santander (UIS), and the Integrated Systems Research Group Onchip at UIS. The combined attendance was 300+, which demonstrates the strong interest that South Americans have in RISC-V.

Our SiFive Tech Symposiums in Portland and Seattle were a big success, thanks in large part to our co-host, Mentor, a Siemens business; and our partner, Lauterbach, a leader in microprocessor development tools. Many leading OEMs were in attendance, such as Amazon, Facebook, Intel, Microsoft and Google There were presentations by the RISC-V Foundation, SiFive, Mentor and Lauterbach, as well as other ecosystem partners. We’d like to offer our thanks to the faculty and students at Portland State University for their participation at the symposium in Portland. We’d also like to thank the RISC-V Seattle Meetup Group who actively participated at the symposium in Seattle.
