Nvidia announced at the RISC-V Summit China that it will open up its CUDA platform to support RISC-V processors. For the first time, CUDA will extend beyond x86 and Arm to include an open instruction set architecture. According to Nvidia, RISC-V CPUs can now serve as the central processing component in CUDA systems, including Jetson modules and specialized edge devices. The company showcased a reference architecture pairing RISC-V CPUs for operating system and logic tasks with Nvidia GPUs for compute workloads and DPUs for networking. This move could help expand CUDA's reach in markets like China.
