Akeana specializes in high-performance RISC-V processor IP, interconnect IP, and system IP, providing scalable and configurable solutions for next-generation AI chips and other compute-intensive workloads. The company enables SoC developers to leverage RISC-V-based solutions across a broad range of applications, including AI, cloud infrastructure, networking, data centers, mobile computing, and automotive.

Few could cast any doubt on the quality of Akeana’s pedigree. This Santa Clara located firm has an executive team made up of former Marvell, Broadcom, Intel, Google and IBM employees. The high regard that the company has succeeded in gaining from the industry is made clear by the fact that it has already raised over $100 million in VC funding (with the Mayfield Fund, Fidelity Ventures and Kleiner Perkins all contributing).

Ashling and Embecosm are excited to announce their latest collaboration in delivering a comprehensive, optimized toolchain for Akeana’s range of high-performance RISC-V processors. This highlights the continued strong partnership between Ashling and Embecosm and their dedication to advancing the RISC V ecosystem.

Founded about three years ago, Akeana has just officially launched and announced three 32-bit and 64-bit RISC-V processor lines and SoC IP with the Akeana 100 series for 32-bit microcontrollers, the Akeana 1000 series for 64-bit processors with MMU, and the Akeana 5000 series with much higher single-thread performance and designed for laptops, data centers, and cloud infrastructure.
