Nvidia announced CUDA software stack support for RISC-V CPUs at the RISC-V Summit in China. This will allow RISC-V processors to act as host CPUs for Nvidia GPUs. The interest in RISC-V is increasing as an alternative to Arm and x86. Nvidia has previously supported CUDA on x86 and Arm64, and prior to Arm, it supported IBM Power systems. The support for RISC-V coincides with China's goal to reduce dependency on Western technology, highlighting the collaboration with domestic CPU projects like Alibaba's C930.
Nvidia is officially bringing its CUDA software stack to RISC-V CPUs, enabling processors based on this architecture to serve as host CPUs for Nvidia GPUs.
Interest in RISC-V has grown as it presents an alternative to Arm and x86-based cores, with Nvidia's CUDA support marking a significant advancement.
China's efforts to reduce reliance on Western CPUs include RISC-V's role, aligning with Nvidia's announcement of CUDA support at the RISC-V Summit.
Nvidia's decision reflects its historical engagement with RISC-based systems, as CUDA previously supported IBM Power and other architectures, now extending to RISC-V.
