RISC-V processor and platform design for data center and AI markets
Ventana designs high-performance RISC-V processors and platforms targeting data center, automotive, client, and AI workloads. The tech stack reveals deep chip-design expertise: SystemVerilog, Verilog, UVM, Cadence Palladium for simulation, plus FPGA and x86/ARM/SPARC ISA knowledge for validation. Active projects span Veyron core iterations, pre-silicon bring-up, and performance modeling—typical of a chip company 5–6 years into product maturity, now focused on verification rigor and hybrid execution debugging rather than architecture exploration.
Ventana Micro Systems designs RISC-V processors and IP platforms for high-performance computing markets. The founding team includes architects behind ARM server processors, bringing proven experience in ISA design and data center deployment. Based in Cupertino with engineering operations spanning the United States and India, the company operates a lean, senior-heavy engineering organization focused on core development, pre-silicon validation, and chip integration. The product roadmap emphasizes the Veyron processor family and ecosystem tooling for performance monitoring and benchmarking.
SystemVerilog, Verilog, C/C++, Python, Cadence Palladium, UVM, FPGA tools (Xilinx), x86, ARM, and RISC-V ISA toolchains (GCC, LLVM, GDB). Also uses RTOS, Xen, and KVM for virtualization and performance modeling.
Veyron v2 and v3 processor core development and verification, RISC-V processor design, FPGA chip implementations with timing optimization, benchmark development, performance monitoring hardware, and pre-silicon bring-up infrastructure.
