IMicrosoft Magic Inc. iyinkampani yaseCalifornia egxile ekunikezeni amathuluzi e-EDA. Isungulwe ngo-1995, yathengiswa ngo-2004 kwaJuniper Networks. Abasunguli bayo nguMark Santoro noLee Tavrow, bobabili abanesipiliyoni, njengoba basebenze ndawonye eSun Microsystems ehola ukwakhiwa kwama-microprocessor e-SPAR. USantoro ubuye wasebenza kwa-Apple, ngaphansi kukaSteve Jobs.
Futhi manje isingenile ezindabeni ngenxa yokuthi ibanga ukuthi ine-kernel esekwe ku-RISC-V esheshayo emhlabeni. Futhi akubonakali nje kuphela ukuthi inokusebenza okwehlukile, kubuye futhi kube namandla kakhulu ukukhuluma, ngoba ukusetshenziswa kwayo kulinganiselwe impela. Okuthile okungaba nentshisekelo kumadivayisi eselula.
Le nkampani yenza isimemezelo esifushane ekupheleni kuka-Okthoba 2020. Ikhombisile ukuthi izuze umnyombo osuselwa ku ISA RISC-V 64-bit nokuthi ibikwazi ukusheshisa ifike ku-5 Ghz ngo-1.1v. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izibalo ezitholakale kwamanye amabhentshi bezithembisa ngempela, zikhombisa ukuthi i-RISC-V ingenza okuningi noma ngaphezulu kunamanye ama-ISAs avuthiwe amanje. Kuyindaba nje yokwakha ukwakheka kwemiklamo efanelekile ...
Lapho kuhlaziywa kulawa mabhentshi wokusebenza, amamaki afana ne- Amaphoyinti ayi-13.000 kuCoreMark. Umgogodla owodwa weMicrosoft Magic osebenza ngo-0.8v oqokiwe ungaphinde uhambise amaphuzu ayi-11.000 we-CoreMark @ 4.25Ghz, esebenzisa u-200mW kuphela.
Futhi uma lokho kuzwakala njengokuningi kuwe, linda uze ubone ukuqhathanisa abakwenzile besebenzisa inkomba njengesethenjwa. I-EEMBC. Uma kunjalo, uthola amaphuzu angama-55.000 ama-CoreMark nge-watt ngayinye yale RISC-V. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uma kuqhathaniswa ne- I-Apple Silicon, i-M1, lena izothola ama-CoreMark ayi-10.000 kuphela ngokwe-EEMBC. Ngamanye amagama, i-chip ye-Micro Magic izodlula leyo ye-Apple ngalowo mqondo. Futhi, uma uhlukanisa lokho ngama-cores ayi-8 ale SoC naku-15W, angaba ngaphansi kwama-CoreMark angaphansi kwe-100 nge-watt ngayinye.
Kusuka kwaMicrosoft Magic futhi bafuna ukukhombisa okuningi kule ndlela. Futhi baqhathanise i-chip esekwe ku-RISC-V ne Ingalo Cortex-A9. Ngaphansi kwalawo mabhentshi we-EEMBC, i-quad-core Cortex-A9 ifinyelela isibalo sama-CoreMark angama-22.343, okuthi uma ehlukaniswe phakathi kwalawo cores amane no-5W ngqangi ngayinye, uthola ama-CoreMark ayi-1112 nge-watt ngayinye. Okusho ukuthi, i-chip ye-Micro Magic izophuma inqobile futhi.
U-Huang uqhubeke wachaza lezi zimaki nokubaluleka kwe- ukusebenza nge-watt ngayinye. Futhi ukuthi zibaluleke impela kumadivayisi wamanje eselula ancike ebhethri, nakweminye imikhakha yomkhakha lapho ukusetshenziswa kubalulekile khona. Ngokusetshenziswa kwe-200mW ye-Micro Magic chip, kungafika kuma-25 RISC-V cores angafakwa ukusetshenziswa okujwayelekile kwe-5W. Lokho kungaba yinto enhle, ngoba bambalwa manje abangaziqhayisa ngokuba nama-chips anama-cores amaningi kuma-mobiles (okwamanje kukhona ama-QuadCore noma ama-OctaCore chips).
U-Huang uphinde wathi yize beyinkampani yesevisi ye-EDA njengamanje, bahlose ukunikela ngemiklamo yabo eyi-RISC-V kumakhasimende angaphansi Ilayisense le-IP. Ngale ndlela, ezinye izinkampani zizokwazi ukuzisebenzisela ukukala ekwakhiweni kwazo okujwayele umkhakha abawudingayo (okwezimoto, amadivayisi eselula, i-PC, izikhungo zedatha, ...).
