London, UK, September 9, 2021 – Imagination Technologies announces an official partnership with Zhejiang University School of Information and Electronic Engineering (ZJU-ISEE) to further develop training materials for Imagination’s “RVfpga – Understanding Computer Architecture” course, which is also Part of the Imagination University Project (IUP). Zhejiang University’s prestigious School of Information and electronic Engineering is working closely with IUP to develop a “Train the Teacher” seminar series, testing new course experiments to complement and expand existing materials (new versions of materials will be available in November 2021). Monthly release) and create an online self-study version of the course.

In June 2021, at the first RISC-V China Summit in Shanghai, IUP and the School of Information and Electronic Engineering of Zhejiang University held a joint workshop on expanding new teaching materials. The seminar was co-hosted by the IUP team and the “Zhejiang University Digital Core” team led by Dr. Liu Peng from the School of Information and Electronic Engineering, Zhejiang University.

Liu Guojun, Vice President of Imagination Technologies and General Manager of China, said: “The Imagination University Program is a global program whose mission is to enable teachers to incorporate real-world technology into their courses. A global program requires global partners. , our formal cooperation with the School of Information and Electronic Engineering of Zhejiang University will have a positive impact on the provision of truly effective teaching materials in China and around the world.”

Dr. Liu Peng, School of Information and Electronic Engineering, Zhejiang University said: “The School of Information and Electronic Engineering, Zhejiang University has a long and distinguished history in the field of electronic engineering and computer architecture. When Imagination communicated with us, they hoped to help further develop and promote their excellent We are excited to collaborate when it comes to teaching materials. They have always excelled in delivering high quality training materials. ‘RVfpga – Understanding Computer Architecture’ is an outstanding example of the joint development of educational materials by industry and academia involving is a major theme that is changing the CPU space.”

Important dates:

· In November 2021, “RVfpga – Understanding Computer Architecture” Version 2 will be released

·In October 2021, a number of RISC-V teacher seminars (one-day session) will be held across China.
