A RISC-V CPU is ideal for efficient programming and future-proofing of an CIM-based NPU.  The RISC-V architecture allows users to add custom instructions to encapsulate the CIM computing blocks, easing software development efforts.  Andes automates this instruction customization process with its automated COPILOT compiler.

Mr. Frankwell Lin, Chairman and CEO of Andes, says, “Andes is honored and excited to have Rain AI as its licensee and partner.  As the first RISC-V vector processor provider, we see CIM as an inevitable necessity to enable generative AI applications and therefore have focused on CIM customers.  To our knowledge, Rain AI has designed one of the most energy efficient matrix multiplication units using digital CIM technology, so we look forward to Rain AI unveiling its breakthrough solutions.”

Mr. William Passo, CEO of Rain AI, echoed this sentiment, stating, “It is rare to see a vendor who shares the same market and technology vision as us, has best-in-class RISC-V solutions for our technology needs, and can commit resources to help us accelerate our roadmap to significantly reduce the energy required for AI.  Running the most advanced models in any form factor is the future of AI, and we are now one step closer with Andes.”

Indeed, Rain AI further taps into Andes’ Custom Computing Business Unit (CCBU) to help accelerate the integration of Andes AX45MPV and the ACE/COPILOT instruction customization with on-site and remote consulting services. Andes’ CCBU is a small team of experts tasked to perform complex customizations and integrations for a few promising cutting-edge licensees. 

Both companies can share that AX45MPV and Andes’ unique RISC-V instruction customization solution, ACE/COPILOT both play pivotal roles to complement Rain AI’s groundbreaking CIM hardware, compiler, and runtime software to deliver scalable ML solutions for a variety of deployment points. Rain AI will unveil its accelerator solution in early 2025.
