ET-Minion is an energy-efficient RISC-V microarchitecture designed by Esperanto. ET-Minion is also sold as a licensable IP core.
Process Technology
ET-Minion is designed and optimized for TSMC's 7 nm process although it may be back-ported to older nodes in the future.
Architecture
ET-Minion is designed to deliver the best TeraFLOP per Watt efficiency. That is, this core was designed to achieve the highest floating point throughput with a high degree of energy efficiency.
- In-order pipeline
- Multi-thread
- Integrated vector floating point unit
- Extension for Tensor instructions
- Extension for graphics operations
- Support for hardware accelerators
