Cortus is a Platinum Founding Member of the RISC-V Foundation
RISC-V combines a modular technical approach with an open, royalty-free ISA. Using an open source solution, it provides flexibility, design freedom and support open architecture extensions to the RISC-V ISA.
Cortus developments are based on cost-effective RISC-V SoC using its own extensive IP portfolio for 32-bit to 64-bit core chips for the following fields:
- NCortus CIoT25, sub-1 GHz chipset
- NCortus C 200, NB-IoT chipset
- NCortus Lotus 1, Microcontroller chipset for general purpose application
- NCortus ULYSS, Microcontroller chipsets for the Automotive market
- NeProcessor: a new 64-bit generation for High Performance Computing (HPC)
This HPC implements the RISC-V 64-bit instruction set architecture. This offers numerous advantages compared to the common CISC architecture implemented by Intel and AMD. In RISC-V the large number of compiler visible register names combined with a load/store architecture and absence of memory to memory operations means many fewer memory operations are required. Exploiting the RISC-V Weak Memory Ordering model in conjunction with fewer memory operations allows dynamic execution optimizations which otherwise would not be possible within a Total Store Order approach. This allows a RISC-V processor to surpass Intel/AMD in Instructions Per Cycle (IPC). Further, optimized implementations of atomic memory operations in conjunction with the cache hierarchy improves the performance of multi-threaded applications such as those which run on a large scale HPC system.
Cortus offers a comprehensive ecosystem including IDE, compilers, assembler, linker, debugger and trace (supporting profiling and MC/DC for safety certifications) all of which have been carefully tested and integrated delivering significant value to Cortus’ strategic partners and customers.
Cortus also offers evaluation board, SDK and reference design in other words a complete solution ready to use to facilitate your integration.
