Blueshift Memory to use Codasip custom compute to develop memory-efficient processor technology
Summary
“This is a very exciting development for us, as it will be the first time our ground-breaking Cambridge Architecture is being incorporated into a processor,” said Peter Marosan, founder and CTO of Blueshift Memory. “Codasip’s architecture licence and its unique tools give us the ability to easily customise the design to include our functionality, while still maintaining software compatibility and all the benefits of the RISC-V ecosystem. In 2022 Blueshift Memory was awarded a prestigious Smart grant by Innovate UK. The 13-month project is focused on developing a module based on the Cambridge Architecture that dramatically increases memory bandwidth, and the final design will include a customized Codasip RISC-V core. As well as helping to create a memory accelerator product, the project will also enable the company to demonstrate the potential benefits of the Cambridge Architecture IP for larger system-on-chip designs incorporating RISC-V.
