NIST and uni friends to design open source research chips, Google to bankroll the fabs
Once the program is up and running, NIST expects to design as many as 40 chips optimized for various applications. Many of these designs will be influenced by submissions from NIST’s university partners.
With that said, some of the chips will feature at least one RISC-V CPU core, Hoskins added. Launch partners include the University of Michigan, University of Maryland, George Washington University, Brown University, and Carnegie Mellon University in the United States. The first of these subgroups is the National Semiconductor Technology Center , which is tasked with prototyping advanced chip technologies, as well as workforce development and the training of workers.
