Shakti – C Class Processor
C Class : The C Class is a controller class of processors, aimed at mid-range application workloads. The core is a highly optimized, 5-stage in-order design with MMU support and capability to run operating systems Linux and Sel4. These processors are targeted at compute/control applications in the 0.5-1.5 Ghz range. The C-class will supports the full RISC-V ISA. The C Class is also the basis for our Tagged-ISA and Fault tolerant cores.
