Architecture brief

RSVC Architecture

A ground-up ISA for the exascale era

RSVC is designed from first principles for modern compute—not adapted from desktop silicon built for another generation.

Design philosophy

A clean break from legacy silicon

Born Native

Designed for cloud-native workloads, not adapted from desktop silicon.

Coherent by Default

Hardware-managed cache coherency across all cores.

Security in Silicon

Cryptographic memory tagging baked directly into the die.

Pipeline deep-dive

Twelve stages. One decisive path.

A wide, deeply scheduled pipeline keeps the core supplied while preserving predictable retirement.
