About the Organization
The RISC-V movement has massive potential to unify a fragmented industry behind a single instruction set architecture (ISA). If the participants in the industry can agree to focus their efforts on a single processor architecture, rather than duplicating efforts among incompatible architectures, the entire computing ecosystem benefits. Inefficiency in critical base components of the ecosystem hampers this consolidation. There are separate efforts in documenting the RISC-V ISA, succinctly describing the semantics of the ISA in the RISC-V Sail implementation, and the numerous projects which directly serve as the base components of the software ecosystem, including assemblers, disassemblers, compilers, linkers, loaders, simulators, emulators. In summary, the tasks in this project will include: Improving the RISC-V Sail specification. (Sail language, git/GitHub) Improving the Sail parser’s JSON backend to extract more complete and accurate information. (OCaml, git/GitHub) Improving the RISC-V ISA interactive web site with new functionality and information. (Javascript, React, Carbon, or similar web frameworks, git/GitHub) Survey downstream projects which have dependencies on the RISC-V ISA. (C, C++, RISC-V assembly) Implement transformations of RISC-V ISA representation in JSON into downstream project content. (Python or similar, C, C++, RISC-V assembly) Engage with upstream projects (Sail, RISC-V Sail specification) to submit change proposals and see that they become acceptable.
