Wave Computing announced that it will soon open the MIPS architecture to promote the innovation and development of the MIPS architecture [full text]

The technology dynamic MIPS architecture open plan will provide the industry with a proven, industry-standard, protected, and free RISC architecture. The plan aims to promote extensive cooperation between Wave's MIPS and industry semiconductor companies.

Campbell, Calif., December 17, 2018-Wave Computing (hereinafter referred to as Wave) is a company located in Silicon Valley in the United States that is committed to promoting artificial intelligence deep learning from edge computing to data center computing acceleration solutions. At present, Wave officially announced that it will open the MIPS architecture (ISA) to provide free MIPS architecture for semiconductor companies, developers and universities around the world for the development of the next generation SOC. The MIPS architecture open plan will provide all participants with new 32-bit and 64-bit MIPS architectures free of charge, without incurring architectural licensing fees and copyright fees, while also providing all MIPS architecture users with hundreds of items worldwide. Some protection.

Art Swift, President of the Wave AI-IP Business Unit, said: "For many years I have participated in and witnessed the development of the open trend of technological architecture. The technological innovation led by the community has become a mainstream trend of technological innovation. The RISC open architecture that meets industry standards, is protected, and has been extensively verified has not yet happened. Now, we announced that we will open the MIPS architecture soon, and we sincerely invite colleagues from all over the world to join us on this exciting journey MIPS innovation is constantly emerging. So far, the MIPS architecture open plan has received very positive and positive feedback from many customers, and we believe that the plan will have a huge positive impact on the industry. "

Wave Vice President and Business Officer Lee Flanagin said: "MIPS is an important strategic component of Wave's vision of" AI everywhere ". The opening of the MIPS architecture will promote the emergence of more solutions based on the MIPS architecture, which will greatly supplement the existing And future MIPS core products. After the opening of the MIPS architecture, Wave's MIPS IP products are still part of our overall product (including systems, solutions and IP), and Wave will continue to develop new IP and market it, continue to be MIPS The SOC design of new and old users provides a wide range of options. At the same time, we will also work with industry colleagues to build and share a vibrant MIPS development community and ecosystem.

Brief Introduction of Opening Plan of MIPS Architecture under Wave Computing

The industry standard MIPS architecture (ISA) condenses decades of innovation. To date, more than 8.5 billion MIPS-based chips have been delivered in thousands of commercial solutions. The opening of the MIPS architecture will greatly encourage global semiconductor companies to develop new solutions compatible with the MIPS architecture for new application scenarios in various emerging markets, thereby further promoting the development of the MIPS architecture and the MIPS ecosystem. The MIPS Architecture Opening Plan will be chaired by the Wave and MIPS Architecture Opening Advisory Committee, which will invite industry OEMs, partners, universities, and technical experts to participate, and they will guide the MIPS architecture on a path of innovation driven by the community. The MIPS architecture open plan will also include a certified partner system to ensure compatibility and avoid fragmentation.

MIPS Ecology has thousands and more than one hundred academic research institutions worldwide. The opening of the MIPS architecture will vigorously promote the innovation and development of the existing MIPS ecosystem, and will bring more market opportunities for value-added products to third-party tool suppliers, software developers, and universities, and will also ensure that MIPS customers get new ones in the ecosystem. Development tools, software and value-added products and services will be fully compatible with each other.

Wave will announce further information about the opening of the MIPS architecture in Q1 2019, such as details of authorization information, downloadable MIPS architecture (ISA), support mechanisms, and how to join the MIPS architecture opening plan.
