At the Xuantie RISC-V Ecosystem Conference, Alibaba DAMO Academy proudly introduced two groundbreaking innovations: the 'Flex' scalable platform and an AI accelerator engine built on the RISC-V architecture. The 'Flex' scalable platform offers comprehensive, full-stack assistance, encompassing models, development environments, and toolchains, with the aim of simplifying the intricate development process associated with RISC-V. Meanwhile, the AI accelerator engine, leveraging the RISC-V architecture, features a unified addressing scheme. It seamlessly integrates a 4K ultra-wide vector acceleration engine with a native tensor computing engine tailored for large models. This engine supports a variety of floating-point formats, delivering robust, high-performance support for both the inference and training phases of large-scale models.
