(Virtual) Open Source Summit Japan
2020-12-02 - 2020-12-06
The Linux Foundation is excited to present Open Source Summit Japan as a virtual event on December 2-4. Attendees will have the ability to network with others, attend presentations with live Q&A, interact with sponsors and more! Registration is US $50. To register, visit the main conference website here: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-summit-japan/register/.
On Wednesday, December 2 at 11:00-11:50 (Japan time) Kate Stewart, Senior Director of Strategic Programs at the Linux Foundation, will be speaking at the conference in a session titled, “Open Source in Safety Critical Applications.”
The last 20 years have seen a tremendous surge of new technologies and capabilities emerge from open source software. Open source building blocks have become increasingly attractive as the base for innovative new products. Safety critical applications are now starting to consider using them as well. This talk will look at some of the challenges and approaches to building trust and confidence in open source used in safety critical software coming to new products near you… or perhaps, even in you. Add this to your schedule here.

(Virtual) RISC-V Summit
2020-12-08 - 2020-12-10
The 3rd annual RISC-V Summit on December 8-10 will highlight the continued rapid expansion of the RISC-V ecosystem, presenting both commercial offerings and exciting open-source developments. The comprehensive 100% virtual event will feature keynotes from industry pioneers as well as thought-provoking panel discussions. Network with thought-leaders, technology companies, and researchers spearheading the adoption of this evolutionary change in the silicon market.

Join us for the Keynote Presentation on December 8 at 10 am: Building an Open Edge Machine Learning Ecosystem with RISC-V, Zephyr, TensorFlow Lite Micro and Renode

By moving closer to the edge, machine learning is profoundly changing the IoT landscape, where RISC-V is already seeing immense success. To be able to fully capitalize on the opportunities that arise from this trend, as well as tackle the related challenges, various communities must come together to create an open ecosystem of modern tools, frameworks and platforms that together will constitute a seamless environment for developers to build advanced ML applications on RISC-V.
The keynote panel will feature Tim Ansell (Google), Kate Stewart (Zephyr Project), Brian Faith (QuickLogic) and Michael Gielda (Antmicro) in a discussion of how the strengths of RISC-V, Zephyr RTOS, TensorFlow Lite and Renode can be combined to provide collaborative, software-driven, traceable ML development for the very edge. The participants will discuss how the vendor-neutral approach of RISC-V resonates with the foundational principles of the Zephyr RTOS and the Renode simulation framework, and how TensorFlow Lite Micro can leverage the open ISA and its tools to innovate in the ML domain also on the hardware level, e.g. using FPGAs or custom extensions. The discussion will also touch upon modern testing methodologies and HW-SW co-development enabled by Renode – already employed by Zephyr, Google’s TF Lite Team and QuickLogic – enabling efficient, deterministically testable ML development on RISC-V.
