SiFive Unveils Open-Source Data Center Processor Compatible with Nvidia

SiFive has introduced BigSky, an open-source processor designed for data centers that utilizes the RISC-V instruction set architecture.

The company claims that BigSky is compatible with Nvidia's CUDA programming model and can run on enterprise Linux platforms.

This move could potentially allow customers to deploy custom silicon in their own data centers without relying on proprietary processors from companies like Intel or AMD.
