Samsung and SiFive to jointly develop AI, Machine Learning inference and training

A month ago, we reported about Samsung’s collaboration with Marvell (a US-based semiconductor company) to develop a SoC (System-on-a-Chip) for improving 5G network performance. However, the developed chip will be used in the company’s massive MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output) radio.

Now as per the latest info, Samsung with its foundry, steps ahead for a new partnership with SiFive (the industry leader in RISC-V processors) to enable and accelerate the development of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning inference and training.

However, this will be possible with the SoCs based on SiFive RISC-V processors and built using Samsung Foundry technology infrastructure. In other words, the chip will be based on the company’s process technology.

“Samsung Foundry is committed to building a rich and resilient ecosystem with our industry partners,” said Mijung Noh, VP of Foundry Design Service Team at Samsung Electronics. “We are pleased to work with SiFive to accelerate our customers’ AI / ML custom SoC design, illustrating the innovation potential we can achieve together.”

Moreover, after further development of the AI accelerator, the chip will create a heterogeneous compute platform for machine learning that can be tuned to meet the needs of edge AI, automotive, 5G/networking, or data center accelerator needs.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic and when the whole industry facing a surge of chipset shortage, it is worth mentioning that Samsung still committed to partner with various industrial fellows. Therefore, this dedication of the company will definitely innovate the technology by carrying along with other industrial members.
