To bridge this gap, RISE is introducing the RISC-V Developer Appreciation Pilot Program (the “Pilot Program”“Pilot Program”), which focuses on recognizing and supporting developers working on these smaller efforts, including porting, testing, and releasing on RISC-V.
...
Contributions will be categorized based on the estimated effort required for each project’s porting.
Category | Completed work | Reward |
Small | The software functions seamlessly with minimal to no porting required. The primary task involves incorporating | 500€ |
Large | The sources require porting to RISC-V, which may involve integrating a | 3000€ |
Projects
The Pilot Program is dedicated exclusively to “Open Source Software” (under an open source software license recognized by the Open Source Initiative). Commercial projects are outside the scope of this program. RISE does not claim ownership rights to your Submission.
...
Examples of small and large project Submissions are included below to enable you to size your project.
Project | Link to contribution(s) | Sizing |
xsimd: C++ wrappers for SIMD intrinsics and parallelized, optimized mathematical functions (SSE, AVX, AVX512, NEON, SVE)) | Large · The linux-riscv64 configuration was added to CI · It required significant development work to add an implementation based on RVV 1.0 | |
sleef: SIMD Library for Evaluating Elementary Functions, vectorized libm and DFT | https://github.com/shibatch/sleef/pull/476 | Large · The linux-riscv64 configuration was added to CI · It required significant development work to add an implementation based on RVV 1.0 · It is a dependency of a few largely used projects that are of interest to RISE members |
rocksdb: A library that provides an embeddable, persistent key-value store for fast storage. | Small · The linux-riscv64 configuration was added to CI · Very little to no other development work was required | |
simdjson: Parsing gigabytes of JSON per second : used by Facebook/Meta Velox, the Node.js runtime, ClickHouse, WatermelonDB, Apache Doris, Milvus, StarRocks | Small · The linux-riscv64 configuration was added to CI · Very little to no other development work was required · [multiplier: x2] simdjson is the reference implementation for fast json parsing and is widely used by many other projects | |
commons-crypto: Apache Commons Crypto | Small · The linux-riscv64 configuration was added to CI · Very little to no other development work was required | |
Netty: an event-driven asynchronous network application framework | Small · The linux-riscv64 configuration was added to CI · Very little to no other development work was required · [multiplier: x2] Netty is the most widely used networking library in the Java ecosystem for any high-performance software that needs fast I/O | |
Brotli4j: provides Brotli compression and decompression for Java. | Small · The linux-riscv64 configuration was added to CI · Very little to no other development work was required |
Submission Process
Before reaching out, please ensure that your project has been fully ported, tested, and released, as we do not review work that is still in progress. Your Submission must be publicly available and under an Open Source License.
When your work is ready, Please Submit your contribution in a comment under new Issue #1 on the RISE Developer Appreciation GitHub and include the following information:
