RISC-V IOMMU

The RISC‑V IOMMU standard introduces powerful innovations such as device passthrough, shared virtual memory, interrupt remapping, and memory protection—essential for enabling secure, efficient SoC designs across data center, cloud, HPC, and embedded workloads.

The talk, given by Ved Shanbhogue (Rivos Inc.), will focus on:

• motivations and use cases for the IOMMU standard;
• recently ratified IOMMU features and integration models;
• supporting software frameworks and monitoring tools; and
• the IOMMU’s role in confidential computing and secure device management.

Finally, the session wraps up with a concise overview of the RISC‑V IOMMU technology currently under development.

The content is accessible to those new to I/O virtualization technologies, providing foundational insights without requiring prior experience in IOMMU or related virtualization topics.
