Design of Customisable and Domain Specific Open-source RISC-V Processors (IA)

TOPIC ID: HORIZON-KDT-JU-2022-1-IA-Focus-Topic-3

Programme: Horizon Europe Framework Programme (HORIZON)
Call: HORIZON-KDT-JU-2022-1-IA (HORIZON-KDT-JU-2022-1-IA)

Topic description

This call relates to the first general objective of the KDT-JU: reinforce the Union’s strategic autonomy in electronic components and systems to support future needs of vertical industries and the economy at large.

The availability of an industrially supported library of open-source building blocks based on the RISC-V Instruction Set Architectures (ISA) and software frameworks for heterogeneous SoC integration is essential to have European sovereignty and maintain a
competitive advantage for IC-developments in strategic European application domains.

The overall goal is to develop RISC-V to become a widespread industry standard alternative to today’s proprietary Instruction Set Architectures (ISA). For this, RISC-V needs a powerful ecosystem comprising technology, business models and pioneering usecase applications. Consortia should include partners to cover this entire value chain.

The long-term strategy is to tackle domain specific solutions by a series of calls throughout KDT and other initiatives. Therefore, funding initiatives will be aligned and priorities will be set based on technologies and domain-specific applications. This call and future calls concerning RISC-V will be based on a common, long-term roadmap for developing a RISC-V ecosystem. This common European roadmap includes efforts in Horizon Europe, EuroHPC, and KDT.

Proposals need to give evidence of readiness to cooperate with and provide clear inputs to future RISC-V actions and/or initiatives.

Selected actions will be implemented as ‘linked actions’, i.e. they are linked with other actions selected under ‘RISC-V’ topics in past calls, this call and future calls. A collaboration agreement with other selected projects and future projects should be established, that sets out requirements for IP sharing, a common governance model, and conformity with specifications set by suitable industry bodies.
