RISC-V is the new instruction-set architecture that people can use to design microprocessors. Calista Redmond is the newly appointed CEO of the RISC-V Foundation, the group that manages the spec and is putting on seminars and conferences around the world. In this week’s Five Minutes With…discussion, I asked Calista about her plans for the organization, which potentially plays a large role in our industry moving forward.
