All in RISC-V, RISC-V All in AI: Solving Real AI Compute Challenges with DeepComputing & Tenstorrent

2026-01-31T17:50:00+01:00 for 00:20

RISC-V is rapidly evolving into a serious platform for AI acceleration—from embedded devices to full AI PCs and datacenter-class compute. But building real, production-ready AI systems on open hardware still poses challenges: memory bandwidth bottlenecks, heterogeneous compute scheduling, toolchain maturity, and model deployment efficiency. As part of this session, we will also briefly share DeepComputing’s AI product roadmap to illustrate how these engineering breakthroughs translate into real devices. In this talk, engineers from DeepComputing and Tenstorrent will share how we are solving these challenges together across two ends of the computing spectrum: • AI PC / edge devices: How we integrate high-performance RISC-V CPUs with NPUs, optimize dataflow for multi-die architectures, and overcome compiler/runtime fragmentation to run LLMs locally. • AI servers: How Tenstorrent’s RISC-V cores and scalable mesh architecture handle AI workloads; how we bridge the software gap (compilers, toolchains, scheduling, kernel-level tuning); and how we standardize low-level interfaces for AI compute. The focus is on how these problems are solved—microarchitecture decisions, data movement, kernel optimizations, interoperability layers, and lessons learned from building real products. This session will show why “All in RISC-V, RISC-V All in AI” is no longer a slogan but a practical engineering path forward.
