RISC-V: Real Systems. Real Traction.

Описание: By Greg Favor, Co-Founder and CTO, Ventana, and Travis Lanier, Chief Product Officer, Ventana

Abstract: With AI compute needs reshaping the industry, RISC-V is gaining global momentum—and Ventana is leading that shift. From hyperscaler infrastructure to next-generation automotive platforms, customers are turning to Ventana for real silicon, real systems, and a faster path to deployment.Ventana is accelerating the adoption of high-performance RISC-V systems—from silicon to software, and from cloud to edge. Building on last year’s introduction of RUCA (RISC-V Unified Compute Architecture), this keynote will highlight how strong customer traction is being driven by Ventana’s full-stack platform approach—one that uniquely combines high-performance IP, packaged chiplets, boards, system software, and robust commercial readiness.

Greg Favor
Co-Founder and CTO
Greg has been architecting and designing microprocessors for 39 years, both at startups and large companies, and across many architectures including x86, PowerPC, ARMv8, and now RISC-V. Most recently this includes being co-founder and CTO of Ventana Micro Systems, which is developing high performance RISC-V processors. Greg is also currently Chair of the RISC-V Privileged Architecture ISA Committee, Vice-chair of the RISC-V Technical Steering Committee, and is actively involved with a number of RISC-V Task Groups.

Travis Lanier
Chief Product Officer
Travis Lanier is the Chief Product Officer at Ventana with over 28 years of experience in CPU development. He began his career at AMD, where worked on the K5, K6, and Athlon processors. He then spent over a decade at Arm, where he worked in both engineering and product management on many key technologies, including BIG.little, NEON, and Arm's early data center efforts with Cortex-A15 and later their first 64-bit processors. In 2011 he joined Qualcomm, where he managed their technology roadmap for a broad portfolio of processor technologies, including CPU, DSP, AI, security, and compilers across their entire portfolio of products, including mobile, automotive, and data center. Travis earned an MS in computer engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, and BS in electrical engineering from Louisiana State University.

Ventana Micro: High Performance RISC-V Leader

Ventana Micro’s global team is delivering a family of no-compromise, high-performance RISC-V data center-class CPUs with extensible instruction set capability delivered in the form of multi-core chiplets or core IP for high-performance applications in the cloud, enterprise data center, hyperscale, 5G, edge compute, AI/ML and automotive markets.

Headquartered in Cupertino, Ventana Micro Systems was founded in 2018 to revolutionize the processor market by offering high-performance, extensible and secure compute chiplets based on RISC-V’s open architecture.

Ventana is a member of the RISC-V International Board of Directors and its Technical Steering Committee.
