To Whom It May Concern
March 8, 2024
The recent semiconductor shortage and shifts in global political relations have changed the European roadmap on semiconductors and chip design significantly. A mix of incentives for new fabrication facilities for advanced technologies and the ambitious goals to (re)-build leading-edge chip design capabilities in Europe are key cornerstones of the European Chips Act. Under this impulse, various funding actions have been successfully launched, for instance in the area of the creation of IP based on the RISC-V instruction set.
Universities have to be an integral part of Europe’s ambitions and are heavily involved in research activities on various levels. This is crucial for two reasons: First, they are incubators of innovative ideas. Second, and equally important, they are of key importance to educating future generations of chip designers and related jobs. The high demand for an increased workforce can only be satisfied with tight coordination and the best support of universities. In these efforts, we believe that open source is a key success factor. The availability of open-source RISC-V IPs developed in Europe has, for example, been of seminal importance for a significant ramp-up of research activities and the rapid build-up of a vibrant research community and innovation ecosystem around RISC-V hardware and software. This has led to new groups getting involved with computer architecture and an increase in innovative research that is currently funded to get commercialized at higher technology readiness levels.
A key next step is to turn innovation in computer architecture for the European market into chip designs that utilize the fabrication facilities and skilled workers that create those designs. In this trajectory, it is our strong belief that open-source chip design tools (Electronic Design Automation -EDA- tools) are essential for the European renaissance in chip design education and innovation:
Based on the considerations above, we would like to express a strong recommendation to the European and national funding agencies:
We thank you in advance for considering our input. We are at your availability for a more in-depth discussion on this topic.

Luca Benini, University of Bologna, Italy & ETH Zürich, Switzerland, Professor, Lead of the RISC-V PULP platform
