RISC-V SUMMIT CHINA 2026

RISC-V Summit China 2026 Call for Presentations (CFP)

Organizer:
RISC-V International Open-Source Laboratory
Conference Dates:
October 18-20, 2026
Venue:
Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center (Futian)

The call for academic and industry topics is now open. We warmly invite leading scholars, industry leaders, and open-source community developers worldwide to submit proposals for cutting-edge presentations.

Seven Forum Tracks

Please select the appropriate forum based on your research or industry area when submitting your topic.

Each track welcomes both academic research contributions and industrial deployment reports. Work previously presented at peer-reviewed venues (e.g., ISCA, MICRO, HPCA, ASPLOS, DAC, PLDI/CGO) is explicitly welcome; the program committee will deliberately program research results alongside deployment experience within sessions.

  1. Artificial Intelligence

    Focuses on RISC-V's role across the full AI computing stack — from ISA standardization of matrix / vector extensions, compilers and operator libraries, to AI frameworks and runtimes, and on to system integration of cloud clusters and heterogeneous edge deployment. Sessions should balance standardization progress with real product / deployment cases. Architecture and compiler research on matrix / vector acceleration — including work published at peer-reviewed venues — is equally in scope.

  2. Datacenter / High-Performance Computing

    Focuses on platform-level deployment of application-class RISC-V in datacenter and high-performance computing: server SoC and platform specifications; firmware and boot (UEFI / ACPI / SBI); memory and interconnect (including CXL); virtualization and cloud-native orchestration; confidential computing and trusted execution; HPC parallel frameworks and scalability. Research contributions on server-class microarchitecture, memory and interconnect architecture, and system software for scalable RISC-V systems are equally in scope.

  3. Software Ecosystem

    Covers the general-purpose software ecosystem from toolchains, kernel, and firmware to distributions and upper-layer runtimes — the horizontal layer underpinning every vertical application, as well as managed / language runtimes (JVM, V8, .NET, Python, Rust, Go); JITs; debugging and performance-analysis toolchains; multi-distribution and software-package ecosystems. Focuses on portable software enablement and ecosystem maturity. Research on compilation techniques, runtime systems, and performance analysis — including previously published academic work — is equally in scope.

  4. Chip Design and Verification

    Covers the full design-verification chain — from microarchitecture and RTL design and agile methodologies (Chisel / SpinalHDL), to pre-silicon / formal verification, conformance (compliance) testing, prototyping (FPGA / simulation), and tape-out. Also covers EDA tooling, with particular emphasis on open-source EDA and the open-source RISC-V core ecosystem, along with conformance-oriented verification methodology.

  5. Automotive, Industrial and Robotics

    Targets RISC-V deployment in safety-critical and real-time embedded domains, covering automotive E/E architectures, industrial control, robotic motion and perception, the low-altitude economy, and aerospace. Functional safety (ISO 26262 / IEC 61508), real-time determinism, and safety-critical certification, as well as automotive-grade software stacks and AUTOSAR adaptation.

  6. Embedded, IoT and Smart Hardware

    Targets resource-constrained, cost-sensitive embedded and IoT volume-production scenarios, covering MCU-class RISC-V; RTOS and bare-metal software; low power and power management; wireless connectivity; on-device AI (TinyML); device security and trusted boot; and mass production and supply chain, as well as the latest industrialization progress of various consumer electronic products.

  7. Industry-Academia Collaboration, Innovation and Entrepreneurship

    Covers RISC-V talent development and curriculum building; frontier research at universities and research institutes; open-source community and standards-body collaboration; and the startup and investment ecosystem.
