Re:Nvidia's Arm deal sparks quick backlash in chip industry by MaxBarraclough on Monday September 14, 2020 @02:38PM (#24473522)
Right, sure, we don't disagree. Strictly speaking, what you've described is trivial:

1. Fork the RISC-V ISA, but brand it as an IR rather than as an ISA intended for hardware implementation

2. Port a C compiler to target your new ISA

3. Port QEMU to execute your new ISA

There you go, you can now compile C to your novel representation, and you can use QEMU to run C programs that have been compiled to it.
