Wave Computing Adopts Low Power MIPS 64-bit Multi-Threaded Core

Wave Computing [...] announced today that it has selected a 64-bit Multi-Threaded processor core from MIPS Technologies for future AI solutions. Wave will use the MIPS core in its next generation of Dataflow Processing Unit (DPU) chips that will ship in Wave's future deep learning systems to handle device control functions including management of the real-time operating system (RTOS) and system-on-chip (SoC) subsystem.

From a MIPS press release:

As design complexity and software footprints continue to increase, the 64-bit MIPS architecture is being used in an even broader set of datacenter, connected consumer devices, networking products, and emerging AI applications. In addition to Wave, companies including Mobileye, Fungible, ThinCI, and DENSO, among others, are using the MIPS 64-bit processor core as they develop ground-breaking AI applications. [...] Last August, Denso group company NSITEXE, Inc. announced that it licensed the newest MIPS CPU to drive enhanced in-vehicle electronic processing.

    I like ARM well enough, it's not a bad architecture, but I also dislike monopolies (or duopolies), and I'm glad to see MIPS making a comeback. Whoever's complaining about compiler support, they're wrong. MIPS has excellent support in gcc and Linux runs on it just fine. My modem runs a MIPS core with Linux, works just fine. I also like the less restrictive intellectual property matters that surround MIPS compared to ARM.
