SiFive - May 13, 2019

The SiFive Tech Symposiums are Heading to Six Cities in Europe in May!

Hello Cambridge, Grenoble, Stockholm, Moscow, Munich and Amsterdam

Our 2019 global symposiums and workshops have been hugely successful in promoting the RISC-V ISA and fostering expansive collaboration within the open-source community. It's invigorating to see how the worldwide semiconductor ecosystem is energized and mobilized by the open ISA. One of the areas receiving the most attention is embedded intelligence. The RISC-V ISA is enabling designers and innovators to actively pursue solutions that employ enhanced embedded intelligence at the edge. The real-world applications of this are awesome and we are inspired by what we see!

The next leg of our tour is taking us to six cities in Europe. We're so excited to meet the brilliant minds in and around Cambridge, Grenoble, Stockholm, Moscow, Munich and Amsterdam!

Cambridge Highlights

Imagination Technologies is our co-host in Cambridge. The symposium will take place on Monday, May 13, and includes a great lineup of speakers, tutorials and demonstrations.
