I read somewhere: The standard is now managed by RISC-V International, which has more than 3,000 members and which reported that more than 10 billion chips containing RISC-V cores had shipped by the end of 2022. Many implementations of RISC-V are available, both as open-source cores and as commercial IP products. You call that compiler-oriented???
