CHERI stands for Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions and Codasip plans to show its custom compute offering in hall 4, stand 4-368. Visitors will get to see fine-grained memory protection with CHERI. This technology, invented at Cambridge University and brought to commercial implementation by Codasip, actively prevents the most common cyberattacks with the potential of eliminating approximately 70 percent of vulnerabilities documented in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program.
Codasip is adding built-in fine-grained memory protection to its recently launched 700 processor family by extending the RISC-V ISA with CHERI-based custom instructions.
In addition, the company will show how to profile an embedded application to identify bottlenecks in the code and how custom instructions can be added to optimize the hardware to improve the application's performance. Codasip claims the potential gains from HW/SW co-optimization include:
