What a great time to be alive. On the server and desktop fronts we develop and interact with software that runs mainly on the x86 instruction set architectures (ISA), designed and created more than 30 years ago. Today we get to see videos of engineers adapting algorithms and extensions to a relatively new ISA to efficiently handle modern workloads. While the software side has seen significant in roads with opensource at all levels of industry, data centers with respect of the hardware is mainly proprietary and I think RISC-V is the first step to change that.
