Recently, Spacetime Semiconductor, in collaboration with the Institute of Software at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, proudly announced that the RISC-V AI CPU chip, K3, has been successfully adapted to the OpenHarmony 6.1 system. This milestone positions the K3 as the world's first RISC-V architecture chip to fully support OpenHarmony, ushering in a new era of complete autonomy and dual open-source synergy for 'chip + system' solutions.
In this collaborative effort, the Institute of Software contributed technical expertise to the OpenHarmony system layer, ensuring the smooth porting of core components. Meanwhile, Spacetime Semiconductor took charge of the K3 chip's underlying hardware adaptation, driver development, and performance optimization.
As a cutting-edge flagship RISC-V AI CPU processor, the K3 chip impresses with its 130 KDMIPS general-purpose computing capability and a staggering 60 TOPS AI computing power. This enables it to efficiently handle large models with parameter counts ranging from 30 to 80 billion. Furthermore, the K3 supports full virtualization and integrates mainstream peripheral interfaces, including PCIe and USB, enhancing its versatility.
This successful adaptation paves the way for the K3 chip's widespread adoption in intelligent terminal applications, such as edge AI computers, intelligent robots, and intelligent computing servers. It not only validates the compatibility and maturity of the K3 chip but also offers OpenHarmony developers a new, high-performance hardware option.
Looking ahead, Spacetime Semiconductor is committed to ongoing collaboration with the Institute of Software and the OpenHarmony community. Together, they aim to further optimize chip support, introduce more compatible products, and actively contribute to the growth and development of the open-source HarmonyOS ecosystem.
