Adding support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, the latest version of the world's leading enterprise Linux platform, enables developers to create, optimize, and release new applications for the next generation of enterprise servers and cloud infrastructure on the RISC-V architecture. RISC-V provides enterprises and datacenter companies the flexibility needed to meet strict cost, power, and performance needs in the AI era.
Both Red Hat and SiFive are active participants in the RISC-V Software Ecosystem (RISE) Project that is focused on optimizing open source software for deployment in RISC-V-based systems. SiFive's high performance RISC-V technology is already being used by large organizations to meet compute-intensive AI and machine learning workloads in the datacenter. The developer preview of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 is initially available for use on the SiFive HiFive premier P550 platform. SiFive is collaborating with Red Hat to prepare Red Hat's product portfolio for future intersection with RISC-V server hardware from a diverse set of RISC-V suppliers.
