RISC-V, the open-source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) that was thought to have no real chance of becoming a standard in the semiconductor market, now has 14% of the global processor market. This astounding accomplishment is due to the exceptional teams RISC-V employs. We look back over the company’s outstanding year and its advancements in the industry as well as those of its sister organizations, especially SiFive. Its journey is one bordered with skepticism…

The verification of a processor is a lot more complex than a comparably-sized ASIC, and RISC-V processors take this to another layer of complexity.
