In The Media

SemiDynamics in Spain has developed a fully programmable Neural Processing Unit (NPU) IP that combines CPU, vector, and tensor processing to deliver up to 256 TOPS for large language models and AI recommendation systems.

The Cervell NPU is based on the RISC-V open instruction set architecture that scales from 8 to 64 cores. This allows designers to tune performance to the requirements of the applications, from 8 TOPS INT8 at 1GHz in compact edge deployments to 256 TOPS INT4 in high-end AI inference in datacentre chips.

Semidynamics has introduced Cervell™, a highly scalable and fully programmable Neural Processing Unit (NPU) architected on RISC-V. Cervell seamlessly merges CPU, vector, and tensor capabilities within a unified, all-in-one architecture, enabling zero-latency AI computation across a broad range of applications, from edge AI deployments to datacenter-scale large language models (LLMs)

When Semidynamics added support for int4 and fp8 data types to their RISC-V processors, it clearly indicated their intent to target AI inference with hundreds or perhaps thousands of concurrent threads running in their advanced caching and pipelining scheme. Two recent announcements around Embedded World 2025 reinforce their positioning for RISC-V AI applications – a partnership with Baya Systems on NoC technology, and added support for the ONNX Runtime as part of its widening software offering for its RISC-V processors.

Semidynamics, the leading IP company for high performance, AI-enabled, RISC-V processors, has announced its support for the ONNX Runtime and the availability of its RISC-V Software Development Kit (SDK), Aliado.

Semidynamics has announced its support for the ONNX Runtime and the availability of its RISC-V Software Development Kit (SDK), Aliado.
Semidynamics has integrated support for its hardware into ONNX Runtime, enabling end-users to seamlessly integrate AI into their applications. The ONNX project, originally developed by Microsoft, defines a common standard for AI models and all major AI frameworks support importing or exporting ONNX-format models. Most open-source AI model repositories, such as HuggingFace, already provide models in the ONNX format enabling ONNX users to import practically any model currently available, without any model compilation step.

Semidynamics in Spain has integrated support for its RISC-V AI accelerator hardware IP into the ONNX Runtime environment with the launch of a software development kit (SDK).
This allows the Aliado SDK to provide debugging and fine-tuning of AI applications running on the custom RISC-V vector engines. The ‘all-in-one’ IP can be integrated into chip designs to accelerate AI applications where the portability of the software, including large language models (LLMs) with up to 7bn parameters is a key factor.

On top of the ONNX format, the ONNX-Runtime can then take ONNX models and execute them in a variety of hardware. It also provides a suite of tools to perform model optimization and even quantization. With the newly integrated support for Semidynamics hardware, end-users will be ready to develop their AI applications from day one.

While there are hundreds of companies that adopt Arm technology, not many of them develop their own custom cores. Something similar will likely happen in the case of RISC-V: companies that need a very specific core and control of their firmware and software stack will be more inclined to design a core from scratch.
For example, Seagate and Western Digital use custom RISC-V cores for their storage controllers. Companies that need to run a lot of off-the-shelf software will prefer off-the-shelf cores or even Arm or x86 CPUs.

2025 Outlook with Volker Politz of Semidynamics

Key Takeaways
Founded in 2016, Semidynamics evolved from a design service company to a provider of customizable 64-bit RISC-V processor IP starting in 2019.
In 2024, a key highlight was the announcement of UPMEM choosing Semidynamics' IP for large language models, leading to inquiries from other semiconductor companies.
Semidynamics stands out by enabling precise customization of its All-In-One AI IP, allowing clients to differentiate their products.

—First in a three-part series
Introduced in 2014, the RISC-V instruction set architecture has been evolving at a pace that Arm and x86 ISAs have never experienced. Initially, RISC-V cores were used solely for microcontrollers and applications that did not require high performance, but rather benefited from low cost and low power. Since RISC-V is an open-source architecture, it quickly gained popularity among dozens and then hundreds of companies, each of which contributed to further development of the ISA.
Nowadays, there are tiny RISC-V cores suitable for microcontrollers and DSPs, more advanced cores suitable for SSD controllers, Linux-capable cores for embedded applications, specialized cores that can be used for AI workloads, and “fat” cores that can serve data center and high-performance computing (HPC) applications.

Machine Learning and AI are fast moving targets, with new deep learning mechanisms being proposed every few months. Therefore, solutions based on fixed-function accelerators are too rigid and tend to lose relevance over time with advances in ML algorithms.
Semidynamics in Spain has developed an all in one architecture that fuses CPU, GPU and NPU. This novel system is composed of multiple IP elements, where each element consists of a RISC-V core, a Vector Unit (VU) and a Tensor Unit (TU). Semidynamics provides a powerful out-of-order 64-bit core based on RISC-V ISA, that includes Gazzillion Technology to efficiently manage large data sets that are common in AI/ML.

Semidynamics on 2025: Trends, Challenges, and Our Vision
Major Tech Shifts in 2025
The AI processor industry in 2025 is on the brink of transformation. With AI infiltrating every corner of technology, three key trends are set to define the year:
First, AI will be everywhere. AI is moving out of elite data centers and into edge devices, personal tech, and industrial systems. This shift demands processors that deliver high computational power without compromising on energy efficiency, scalability, or cost. Current leaders like Nvidia are hitting limits—environmentally, economically, and in production capacity—leaving room for new players to rise.

A leading IP company for high performance, AI-enabled, RISC-V processors, Semidynamics has announced that it has been selected by UPMEM as its core provider for its next generation of LPDDR5X Processing In Memory (PIM) device.
The standard RISC-V architecture with the integrated Tensor Unit along with the long latency, data access optimizer named Gazillion, allows a seamless and efficient integration of any AI or LLM models. The Tensor Unit performs matrix multiplications required by AI. It offers low power operation, is easy to program as no DMAs are needed and provides universal RISC-V compatibility by working under any RISC-V vector-enabled Linux without any changes.

Durante la Premium Lecture a cargo de Roger Espasa, CEO de Semidynamics, se han abordado las ‘Oportunidades y necesidades en el ecosistema de semiconductores’ en el marco del II Congreso Nacional de Semiconductores (Chipnation) que se celebra en el Caixa Forum Valencia este lunes 2 y martes 3 de diciembre.

El sector de los semiconductores en España afronta grandes retos. Sin embargo, cuenta con un recurso clave para liderar su crecimiento como es el talento. Durante la celebración de Chipnation, el Congreso Nacional de la Industria de los Semiconductores, celebrado en Valencia, expertos como Roger Espasa, Mayte Bacete o Teresa Riesgo destacaron la importancia de invertir en talento y reclamaron la puesta en marcha de un grado en semiconductores,  para desarrollar una industria que impulse tanto la innovación como la economía. .

La segunda edición del ChipNation, el congreso nacional de la industria de los semiconductores, llega a València esta semana con el objetivo de "fortalecer el ecosistema de los semiconductores en España y posicionarlo como un actor clave dentro del marco europeo y global".

Earlier this year, Semidynamics released efficiency data for its all-in-one (AIO) AI-processing element comprising a RISC-V CPU with vector and tensor extensions. The company reports tensor-unit utilization exceeds 70% while executing the Llama2-7B model, regardless of the underlying operations’ matrix size. This is a good performance. We’ve noted other designs achieving utilizations up to 65%, and 50% or less is common. However, a full assessment would require evaluating a design integrating many instances of the Semidynamics element.

With a growing intellectual property (IP) portfolio and a rapidly expanding team, the Barcelona-based chip-design company Semidynamics, a sponsor of HiPEAC 2025, is on a roll. HiPEAC caught up with Roger Espasa, the founder and chief executive of Semidynamics, to learn more about building a European hardware company from the ground up.

The European Processor Initiative aims to bring together research, design and manufacturing of a home-grown European processor

Semidynamics has launched an integrated IP solution that combines RISC-V, vector, tensor, and proprietary Gazzillion technologies, enabling AI workloads using a single instruction set and toolchain.

Pour soutenir le succès de son IP IA, Semidynamics lance une vaste campagne de recrutement visant à embaucher une large gamme d’ingénieurs, du junior au senior, à son siège de Barcelone. L’objectif est d’atteindre 120 employés d’ici début 2025, après être passée de 40 employés au début de cette année à 90.

Computer programs mainly move data around. In the meantime, they do some computations on the data but the bulk of execution time and energy is spent moving data around. In computer jargon we say that applications tend to be memory bound: this means that memory is the main performance limiting factor. A plethora of popular applications are memory bound, such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning or Scientific Computing.

Semidynamics is now recruiting various engineers of all levels at its Barcelona headquarters. The company's workforce has expanded from 40 employees to 90 this year, with a target of 120 by early 2025.

To underline the credential of its All-In-One artificial intelligence (AI) processing IP, Semidynamics has just made public all the data on the tensor unit efficiency levels attained.

Semidynamics has announced Tensor Unit efficiency data for its ‘All-In-One’ AI IP running a LlaMA-2 7B-parameter Large Language Model (LLM).

At every point in the design process, RISC-V developers can make use of the advancements presented at RISC-V Summit Europe.

Roger Espasa, Semidynamics’ CEO, explained, “The traditional AI design uses three separate computing elements: a CPU, a GPU (Graphical Processor Unit) and an NPU (Neural Processor Unit) connected through a bus. This traditional architecture requires DMA-intensive programming, which is error-prone, slow, and energy-hungry plus the challenge of having to integrate three different software stacks and architectures. In addition, NPUs are fixed-function hardware that cannot adapt to future AI algorithms yet-to-be-invented.
