RISC-V and Julia

Community Teaching & Outreach
1
  • What Julia language can contribute to RISC-V development? There are few RISC-V computer manufacturers in the world like https://deepcomputing.io/.
  • What are possible topics where Julia can help in developing RISC-V ecosystem?
  • Are there any projects using Julia in RISC-V software libraries?
  • When we will have Julia ready to run on RISC-V chips?

The primary answer on Julia+riscv is that we’re mostly waiting for a chip that can build and run Julia quickly enough to be an interesting dev target. Currently ascalon looks like the one to finally be fast enough

That’s the nice question, honestly like Python has micropython, Julia has to be brought down to those same lines, so that it can be stripped off some of it’s stuff and can run on embedded, because of the constraints
