Does anyone have figures on how much money the US federal government has spent to develop the RISC architecture?

RISC-V originated from 5 year project called Parallel Computing Laboratory (Par Lab) at UC Berkeley. Par Lab received no direct federal funding. It was funded mainly by Intel and Microsoft and State of California.

This may have been true in the early years, but my understanding is that DARPA has played a large role in funding the development of RISC architecture. [1]

Was that funding tax deductible?

RISC and RISC-V are different things.
