Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil - PUCRS
At PUCRS, we use Imperas virtual platforms in projects on multiprocessor SoC modeling, power evaluation, and programmability, as well as computer science graduate program courses on SoCs and research architecture. Our research group (Grupo de Apoio ao Projeto de Hardware, or Hardware Design Support Group), also leverages these tools.

The Imperas Golden RISC-V Reference Model helped us find many bugs in our cores.
However, the RISC-V architectural tests yielded no bugs, which is expected since the architectural tests are a subset of full verification.
