Esperanto Technologies and NEC Cooperate on Initiative to Advance Next Generation RISC-V Chips and Software Solutions for HPC
Summary
In recent years, NEC has been active in integrating AI and machine learning capabilities into its supercomputing solutions, expanding its role in diverse areas from scientific research to industrial applications. Esperanto’s first product, the ET-SoC-1, packs over one thousand RISC-V cores on a single chip, providing high throughput for AI inference workloads while keeping power consumption low – typically under 30 watts – a critical advantage for data centers and edge computing. The changing, computationally intensive workloads of the machine learning era mandate a new clean-sheet solution, shedding the baggage of existing legacy architectures, and the programmability limitations of overspecialized hardware. Esperanto leverages the simple, elegant, open standard RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) to deliver flexibility, scalability, performance and energy-efficiency advantages.
