REBECCA Showcased at RISC-V Summit Europe 2025 in Paris
12-15 May 2025
On 12-15 May 2025, the REBECCA project was represented in the prestigious RISC-V Summit Europe 2025, held in Paris. This high-profile event brought together experts and innovators from across the globe to explore the future of open-standard computing and its applications across various technology domains.
Representing REBECCA at the summit were Iakovos Mavroidis, Konstantinos Georgopoulos, and Joachim Rodrigues, who skillfully led the poster sessions. Their participation helped showcase the project’s pioneering work and opened avenues for engaging discussions with the broader RISC-V and edge AI communities.
Why RISC-V Matters to REBECCA
The REBECCA project is pioneering advancements in edge AI systems using RISC-V technology, emphasizing power efficiency, scalability, and open-source accessibility. It integrates a multicore RISC-V-based architecture with AI-specific accelerators, neuromorphic computing, and security features to deliver a high-performance, cost-effective AI platform.
The core of REBECCA is the CVA6 processor, leveraging a chiplet-based design and shared memory architecture to optimize real-time AI processing. The platform incorporates HyperRAM for efficient data access and a custom software stack to maximize efficiency and security. Initial prototypes using U55C development boards and FPGA-based testing validate the feasibility of RISC-V for AI-driven applications.
Future research will enhance neuromorphic computing, AI framework integration, and real-time performance optimization. With strong industry and academic collaboration, REBECCA is shaping the future of AI at the edge, positioning RISC-V as a compelling alternative to proprietary AI solutions.
