About the Organization
We want to discuss, map out, and plan a Next Generation Arithmetic (to include complex numbers) extension or equivalent to the RISC-V spec. This was discussed on the tech list a couple of years ago. We think there is a strong demand for this facility right now. The results of this work, likely including a feasibility study and code snippets, will inform the community on how to integrate NGA formats, including posits, into a RISC-V implementation. This internship will include our Journal Club approach where all interns will get opportunities to incorporate their additions and review the appropriate papers. To further these goals, and to give a reference to the substantial performance, accuracy and reproducibility advantages of NGA-enhanced RISC-V, a large number of CPU-based codes will be refactored to take advantages of the best parts of the appropriate arithmetic approaches while keeping floating-point options open.
