    Vaibhav Verma gave a talk about his work AI-RISCV in RISC-V Summit 2021

    Vaibhav Verma gave a talk titled "AI-RISC - Custom Extensions to RISC-V for Energy-efficient AI Inference at the Edge of IoT" in RISC-V Summit 2021 which is co-located with DAC 2021. You can listen to the talk here.Numerous hardware accelerators have been proposed to meet the performance and energy-efficiency requirements of AI applications. But these accelerators have been developed in separate silos with little to no infrastructure for integrating these accelerators in the top-level system stack. We present AI-RISC as a solution to bridge this research gap.
