Codasip Announces UK Hiring for RISC-V Development
www.electropages.com, Oct. 05, 2021 –
Recently, RISC-V development Codasip announced that it will be looking to hire 100 engineers in the UK to continue its development with RISC-V IP cores. Who is Codasip, why are they hiring, and why is RISC-V becoming increasingly popular?
Who is Codasip?
Codasip is a semiconductor IP company founded in 2014 that operates on the core belief that processor and hardware development should be democratised. During its inception, the RISC-V architecture started to make its appearance in academic circles and with some hardware engineers, and it was the openness of RISC-V that saw Codasip adopt it immediately.
In 2015, Codasip was one of the many companies that helped found the RISC-V Foundation, which pursued the development of RISC-V architecture. In 2015, Codasip was also the first company to offer a commercial RISC-V CPU and introduced the first 64-bit RISC-V core in 2017.
Codasip expands company and moves to hire engineers in the UK
Recently Codasip announced that it is looking to hire over 100 engineers from the UK with RISC-V experience. The two sites that will be hiring are located in Cambridge and Bristol, but the changes in the workforce will give applicants the opportunity to work remotely. Such a work environment makes sense for a company that does not operate foundries and is entirely fabless.
In the report from Codasip, it was also mentioned that the drive for RISC-V comes from the slowing down of silicon reduction. If engineers can no longer reduce the size of transistors reliably, then the next path for semiconductor development will be specialist hardware requiring unique processor technologies. Codasip specialises in RISC-V and IP development; Codasip services are geared towards this new direction in semiconductor development.
