The SemiDynamics Cervell AI processor represents a new frontier in RISC-V-based AI acceleration, combining powerful vector and tensor compute engines with unmatched design flexibility. Developed by SemiDynamics, Cervell is engineered for integration into custom silicon projects that require scalable neural processing power without compromising transparency or control. Designed for those who demand complete insight and adaptability, Cervell offers the ability to tailor AI acceleration to the exact needs of your application—whether you’re building for edge inference, industrial AI, or custom ML accelerators.
At its core, the SemiDynamics Cervell AI processor integrates a RISC-V general-purpose CPU with a fully programmable vector unit and a scalable tensor engine. This modular design allows silicon designers to scale from just a few TOPS to hundreds, based on application-specific requirements. Unlike fixed-function NPUs that lock developers into predefined architectures, Cervell lets you define your own computational model, enabling optimisation for novel workloads or proprietary algorithms.
One of the major advantages of the SemiDynamics Cervell AI processor is that it’s based entirely on open RISC-V architecture—freeing chip designers from vendor lock-in and offering complete transparency. Engineers can modify or extend the instruction set, enabling custom acceleration paths not possible with closed-source ARM or x86 architectures. The inclusion of a scalable tensor unit means that deep learning models—from image classification to generative AI—can run efficiently in hardware, all under developer control.
From a technical integration standpoint, Cervell is IP that slots seamlessly into your SoC design. The platform supports customisable memory interfaces, bus protocols, and debug infrastructure. SemiDynamics also provides full software stacks, tooling, and simulation environments to accelerate development and shorten time-to-market. For projects where AI is a central requirement, the SemiDynamics Cervell AI processor gives you everything you need to differentiate at the silicon level.
The processor is particularly suited to companies developing chips for computer vision, intelligent robotics, autonomous systems, and custom accelerators for edge computing. With Cervell, your AI solution doesn’t have to compromise between flexibility and performance—you get both.
If you’re designing the next generation of AI-enabled chips and want full control over your architecture, the SemiDynamics Cervell AI processor is a compelling and future-proof solution.
