We’re running hands-on sessions across both #software and #hardware tracks, led by experts from across the #RISCV ecosystem. Just practical work, and things you can apply right away. €30 for the full day. Limited seats available. Save yours now! Register here 👉 hubs.la/Q04d09NX0

💡 Predict before you implement. Thales built a precise performance model for the CVA6 RISC-V core to evaluate changes before touching RTL. The model achieved COREMARK performance results that were within 0.8% of the RTL, uncovering performance bottlenecks and informing the design of a dual-issue CVA6 core. Outcome? A 40% performance boost with just +7% power and +11% area. This shows how modeling can transform open hardware development. Explore the project here: hubs.la/Q04c5j7G0

Curious about what you can actually build on RISC-V? This is where things get hands-on. Join us for a day of hands-on workshops designed for developers who want more than slides. You’ll experiment with tools, test what works today, and see how #hardware and #software can be co-designed. We’re going all in on practical learning, direct application, and the chance to start building right away alongside experts and other developers and engineers. Check out the #RISCVDeveloperWorkshops’s agenda, and join us! 😎 hubs.la/Q04c5lLL0 ________________________________________________ 🎟️ €30 pass | Open to all 📅 Monday 8 June 2026 📍 Palazzo dei Congressi, Bologna, Italy #developers #RISCV #Bologna #RISCVSummitEurope

🔍 How do you accelerate real hardware innovation? Thales shows the power of performance modeling with the CVA6 RISC-V processor. Using a cycle-accurate Python model, they identified and tested performance improvements before RTL implementation, guiding the creation of a dual-issue CVA6 core. The result: +40% CoreMark/MHz with only modest increases in power and area. This is a clear example of modeling driving smarter hardware design. 👉Check out the short walkthrough video and the project: hubs.la/Q0482g6d0

The race has begun 🏁 Amazing to see that some of you have reached bronze and silver, and more are joining every day. Participants in the #RISCVCommunityChallenge with HaDes-V are advancing through the first milestones as they build their own RISC-V microcontrollers. The challenge is officially underway, but you can still join. (Deadline to register: April 3) Jump in, learn, and build at your own pace: hubs.la/Q047ql7G0

The momentum behind @risc_v continues to accelerate at the #Xuantie Ecosystem Conference in Shanghai. Charles Janac, our President and CEO, presented “Optimizing Data Movement Across XuanTie Systems” there. We have more events planned throughout the year - stay tuned 👋🏻

Announcing our first keynote speaker, Greg Kroah-Hartman 🎤 We’re excited to welcome Greg Kroah-Hartman to the RISC-V Summit Europe stage. As the maintainer of the Linux stable kernel, Greg plays a critical role in ensuring the reliability and long-term support of Linux across a wide range of systems. In addition to his keynote, Greg will also be joining us at Members Day to connect with the broader RISC-V ecosystem. Stay tuned for more speaker announcements.

How do we make RISC-V Vector Extensions more accessible for scientific applications? This featured project for March introduces a new RVV backend for the RAJA framework, enabling portable, vectorized performance across heterogeneous systems. It is a big step toward making RVV practical for real-world scientific and HPC workloads. If you are into performance, portability, and open computing, this one is for you. 👉hubs.la/Q043jJGH0

Ever had someone spend just a few minutes helping you and it completely changed your path? That’s exactly what happened to our Community Director, Megan. She went from tinkering with headgear to speaking on stage, all because someone took a moment to mentor her. Since the RISC-V Mentorship Program launched in 2021, we have grown from 6 mentees in the first year to 49 mentees in 2025, showing the significant impact mentorship can have. We still need more mentors to create opportunities for the hundreds of applicants eager to learn and grow. Summer 2026 Mentorship proposals are open through March 30. Let’s pay it forward and help the next generation of RISC-V innovators thrive! Apply now to become a mentor: hubs.la/Q046lyJr0

Ever wanted to design a RISC-V microcontroller but not sure where to start? The Community Challenge with HaDes-V uses a unique “jigsaw puzzle” learning model. You implement each processor stage individually, from fetch to write-back, and validate your work against golden reference modules for instant feedback. This approach helps you: • Connect processor theory with hands-on hardware design • Build confidence through incremental progress • Learn verification, synthesis, and debugging along the way All exercises run remotely. All you need is a laptop. 📅 Livestream kickoff on March 3, 2026 at 9:15am, CET 👉 Plan ahead and register now: hubs.la/Q040Dnr00 __________________________________________________________ #RISCVcommunitychallenge in partnership with Graz
