proteanTecs has announced a collaboration with Akeana to deliver a joint solution targeting advanced RISC-V processors. The companies report that this integration combines proteanTecs’ Hardware IP Monitoring System with Akeana’s configurable 64-bit RISC-V 5000 Series processors, aiming to enhance power efficiency, increase performance, accelerate product introduction, and improve operational reliability for next-generation applications.
According to the announcement, this joint solution will embed proteanTecs monitoring agents directly within Akeana’s RISC-V processors. This allows customers to access real-time, telemetry-based insights throughout the device lifecycle—including design, product ramp, and in-field operation—supported by analytics and machine learning. The companies claim that these monitoring features provide early visibility into potential issues during operation and enable predictive power management across functional workloads, helping to maximize efficiency and extend device lifetimes by safely reducing excess guard bands.
Data center operators are a key target, with Akeana’s 5000 Series aimed at ultra-demanding workloads such as data centers, cloud networking, and AI-centric heterogeneous CPU-xPU systems. The solution is also positioned for use in automotive and mobile computing sectors. During new product introduction, detailed insights into actual device power, performance, and health profiles are designed to shorten debugging cycles and speed time-to-market.
“proteanTecs brings unmatched on-chip visibility,” said Amit Nanda, VP of Strategy, Solutions, and Partnerships at Akeana. “As processors scale in complexity and are tasked with increasingly intensive AI workloads, that level of insight becomes essential. By integrating proteanTecs’ monitoring into our 5000 Series, customers will be able to accelerate the ramp of power-efficient, high-performance devices, bringing products to market faster with confidence in long-term reliability.”
Both companies participate in RISC-V International and report contributing to the ecosystem through standards and interoperability initiatives, with the intent to make advanced monitoring and analytics part of RISC-V best practices.
