The world's first RISC-V servers are available in the cloud.
Taste the new open processor architecture now.
RISC-V, an open instruction set architecture, allows anyone to design, implement and distribute RISC-V processors without the restrictions associated with proprietary architectures.
This freedom encourages innovation, fosters competition and facilitates the emergence of "sovereign" processors.
EM-RV1 servers are extremely energy-efficient, consuming between 0.96W and 1.9W per 1.8GHz core.
Incredibly dense, a 52U rack holds up to 672 EM-RV1s!
They contribute to responsible management of the environmental footprint of cloud solutions.
Designed and assembled in our R&D laboratory in Paris, the EM-RV1 is the fruit of months of research to launch a range of RISC-V servers in the cloud.
Hand-crafted design (laser-cut chassis, 3D-printed blades, hand-soldered components) has allowed us to bring you these world-exclusive servers.

RISC-V EM-RV1 servers, available now in the Scaleway cloud, offer a unique opportunity to explore this new open architecture at an attractive price. They are available by the hour or by the month, with no installation costs.
Developers can deploy, test and debug their RISC-V applications in a cloud environment, reducing the obstacles associated with installing and configuring specific hardware. This enables rapid iterations, fostering innovation and wider adoption of RISC-V architecture.
By using EM-RV1, CI/CDs can adapt to demand and benefit from native performance, boosting the speed and reliability of the development process on RISC-V architecture.
The EM-RV1s feature a neural network accelerator chip (NPU), optimizing specialized computing capabilities for AI/ML workloads such as image recognition, machine translation and many others.
The EM-RV1 servers are the fruit of months of intense research and development aimed at creating RISC-V servers in the cloud. The limited hardware offering, unsuitable for data centers, and the maturity of the software ecosystem, presented us with a number of challenges.
Every aspect of their design, from the initial iterations with suppliers, through the soldering of electronic components, the development of specific firmware, to the manufacture of the enclosures using 3D printing, bears witness to an iterative, artisanal approach.
Our goal was to offer you as soon as possible a range of RISC-V servers meticulously designed to meet the demands of a cloud environment.
Scaleway's EM-RV1 offering marks a turning point in the server industry as the world's first RISC-V dedicated server offering. This breakthrough testifies to Scaleway's unwavering commitment to being a leader in technological innovation. By introducing this revolution in the world of processors to the cloud market, Scaleway is positioning itself as an activator of the RISC-V ecosystem, accelerating its development and popularization.
EM-RV1 servers are more than just an innovation; they represent a bold vision for the future of computing. A vision that advocates the opening up of processor design standards, offering the possibility of the emergence of local players enabling nations to eventually control the manufacture of their processors.

These servers are only available in the fr-par-2 zone.
An NPU, or Neural Processing Unit, is a specialized chip designed to perform information processing operations based on neural models or artificial neural networks. These chips are optimized for accelerating tasks related to machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision and other tasks associated with artificial intelligence.
Unlike traditional processors that execute sequential instructions, NPUs are specifically designed to simultaneously handle large amounts of data and perform massively parallel calculations, making them particularly effective for tasks related to deep learning and deep neural networks.
NPUs are widely used in applications such as speech recognition, image classification, machine translation, object detection, sequence prediction and many other fields where massive and complex data processing is required. They help speed up these tasks and improve the performance of artificial intelligence systems, both in terms of processing speed and energy efficiency.
