RISC–V Vector Extensions Workshop

With the ratification of RVA23, RISC-V processors will now include high performance vector processing capabilities in the hardware. This hands-on workshop explores RISC-V Vector (RVV) software extensions — how they work and how they dramatically accelerate compute-intensive tasks like machine learning, signal processing, and cryptography.

You’ll learn practical techniques for converting optimized C code from other ISA platforms into RVV implementations, with a focus on the key difference between fixed vector-length architectures and RVV’s flexible vector-length agnostic (VLA) approach. We’ll also go low-level, comparing Arm and RISC-V assembly to show what’s truly possible on the metal.

Sharpen your skills and get hands-on enabling high performance  software with vector computing.

RISC–V Vector Extensions for AI Engineers

Originally developed for RISC-V International this hands-on workshop compares AI operator vectorization between Arm SVE and RVV 1.0 at the ISA level.

Using tools like perf and disassembly, you’ll analyze intrinsic patterns, memory access behavior, and execution efficiency — exploring key architectural differences including tail policy vs. predication and vector length control.

You’ll leave with practical optimization strategies for RVV-based AI kernels and real-world insights into migrating from SVE to RVV.

Ideal for engineers and researchers building AI software on RISC-V platforms.
