About
Goal: faciliate efforts and communicate the ecosystem's readiness
There is already clear, dedicated, and healthy RISC-V Language RUntimes investments from various companies (Alibaba/T-Head, Huawei, Google, RedHat, Rivos, Ventana, Samsung, and more)
The areas of focus of this working are:
- Collaboration to avoid duplication of work
- Build farm to ease development and debugging
- Communicate RISC-V ecosystem readiness
- Short-term: to contributors of libraries used in the respective languages' ecosystem
- Longer-term: to potential RISC-V HW buyers
Includes, but not limited to, Java, Python, Go, Android Runtime, .NET
Priorities H2 23
Java
- Backport to JDK 11u and JDK 17u
- Performance enhancements (intrinsics, optimizations, vectorization, etc.)
- Port largely used Java libraries to RISC-V: Apache Commons Crypto, Apache Arrow, Netty (an event-driven async network application framework), and more
Python
- Port libraries of interest: Numpy, Scikit-learn, etc.
Go
- Performance enhancements (intrinsics, optimizations)
- Support for more extensions (Bitmanip, Crypto, etc.)
.NET Runtime
- RISC-V codegen bring-up: runtime unit tests passed.
- RISC-V JIT compiler bring-up: in progress (passes 4303 of 4737 test cases in June, 2023)
Android Runtime
- TBD
