Nvidia announced it is working to bring CUDA platform support to the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) at the 2025 RISC-V Summit in China, with the goal of enabling RISC-V to serve as a main processor for CUDA-based systems., However, high-performance RISC-V processors appropriate for the datacenter remain few and far between. In this respect, Nvidia's decision to announce CUDA support for the ISA in China is fitting. Over the past few years, the Middle Kingdom has made a concerted effort to end its reliance on Western CPUs, with RISC-V playing a central role., Nvidia has yet to announce a release date for the RISC-V CUDA port. With enough investment and development, RISC-V could eventually rival Arm in performance and efficiency., This was made possible via a port that allows RISC-V CPUs to handle system drivers and app logic while working in tandem with NVIDIA GPUs in CUDA AI setups. This means RISC-V processors can act as the main host running the operating system and CUDA drivers, offloading compute-heavy tasks to NVIDIA GPUs., Historically, NVIDIA ported its CUDA platform to every major instruction set, including x86, Arm, PowerPC, and even Sun's SPARC. This is done to ensure that if any platform takes off in the enterprise or any segment, NVIDIA is there from the start to support it and allow its GPUs to run at full speed., .
