The flexibility of RISC-V helps us address domain-specific requirements with custom processors that go beyond the roadmap of the mainstream IP providers.
Designing a high-performance RISC-V processor that achieved up to 3x the performance in critical workloads was no small feat. We needed to balance the features and options with the verification implications. The combined solution of Imperas golden reference models and Valtrix STING has helped us to achieve our verification and schedule goals.

RISC-V is at the forefront of a hardware design renaissance in optimized processors.
But, an ISA only provides the envelope of possibilities. The art and science of processor optimization requires complete feature exploration and verification, which are supported by the reference model simulation and verification technology from Imperas.
