Founded in 2019 as part of Tsinghua-Berkeley Shenzhen Institute (TBSI), the RISC-V International Open Source Laboratory (RIOS Lab) began its journey of bringing the research effort of RISC-V CPU with its software and hardware ecosystems from UC Berkeley to the rest of the world. The lab is leading by the 2017 Turing Award Laureate Professor David Patterson, and our research is focuses on the hardware and software ecosystem of RISC-V processors, including uncore, compiler runtime and operating systems for RISC-V.
Before the end of this decade, RISC-V and open source IP will be popular in all levels of information technology. From the tiniest Internet of Things devices, through cell phones and laptops, to the largest high performance and cloud computers. At RIOS, our mission is to develop open source IP and software that helps make the RISC-V ecosystem world-class.
As a premier member of RISC-V Foundation, we are aiming to demonstrate our commitment to the open source platform for chip developers with far more economical and efficient technology. All cooperation research and development will be open sourced, and to bridge the gap between academic and technologies research industry.
