India, Feb. 25 -- Barcelona Zettascale Lab (BZL), a project led by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS), has successfully completed the experimental bring-up of the Cinco Ranch TC1 chip.

The results confirm the robustness of the design and the viability of its, based on open-source RISC-V based computing architecture. This milestone represents a key step in the chip development process, and marks a qualitative leap on the path toward sovereign supercomputing technologies in Europe.

The results demonstrate not only a high level of performance and maximum energy efficiency, but also the ability of the BZL and its strategic partners to position themselves at the forefront of semiconductor...
