SiFive Performance P270
The SiFive Performance™ P270 is an 8-stage, dual-issue, highly efficient in-order pipeline compatible with the RISC-V RV64GBCV ISA. With full support for the RISC V Vector Extension v 1.0, and combined with the SiFive Recode utility, which translates existing SIMD software from popular legacy architectures to RISC-V Vector assembly code, the P270 is an ideal replacement for dated SIMD architectures.
