RISC-V Architecture and VLIW Machine
RISC-V is arguably the world’s most innovative platform. It is the first fully functional embedded system with an architecture and stack that can support a full-blown virtual machine running both at the application side and in the context of the data stack [1]. While most systems operating on their own use a subset of RISC-V,…
