RIGOLETTO
A European Automotive RISC-V Hardware Platform

RIGOLETTO is a European research and innovation project developing a next-generation automotive hardware platform based on the open RISC-V instruction set architecture. The project brings together leading European companies and research organizations to develop processor cores, accelerators, interconnects, memory hierarchies, peripheral subsystems, and design tools for software-defined vehicles.

Plan ahead

  1. Prototype software technologies as tools portable across RISC-V processor devices, and suitable to test a wide variety of performance requirements
  2. Build on available RISC-V processor prototypes to ease development and validation
  3. Assess in specific use cases

RIGOLETTO objectives

  1. Establish the foundation for a next-generation Automotive Hardware Platform based on the open RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA).
  2. Strongly linked with the software-defined vehicle ecosystem led by European automotive manufacturers and suppliers.
  3. Develop RISC-V intellectual property (IP) components, including processor cores, accelerators, interconnects, memory hierarchy and peripheral subsystems, to enable increasingly electrified, automated, and connected vehicles.

BSC Performance Validation Solution

    • Obtain performance requirement specifications
    • Real-time requirements, deadlines, dependencies, communications, and any type of constraint relating to safety requirements
    • Specify them in a way that they can be measured and assessed 
  2. Analyze processor characteristics to devise how software must be scheduled and consolidated
  3. Set appropriate hardware configurations enabling the achievement of the performance requirements
  4. Determine experiments and workloads needed to test performance requirements
  5. Tailor test benchmarks needed to stress the system and assess performance requirements
