Andes Technology Corp.RISC-V represents the potential for innovation, and it is the implementation of great ideas that are really generating exceptional results.
To unlock such potentials, Andes provides the AndeSysC™ environment, an extensible and near-cycle accurate SystemC model library for all AndesCore®. SoC architects can use it to construct a SystemC based virtual platform for performance evaluation of critical code segment and hardware/software co-optimization. ACE technology helps users implement custom functions and instructions, and it directly connects to the AndeSysC™ environment. Now with the close integration with the Imperas fast reference models and tools, design teams can embark on architecture exploration with complete application software for the next generation of domain specific devices with a seamless path to ACE implementation.

Andes Technology Corp.Flexibility within a framework of compatibility is the essential foundation of the RISC-V ISA.
The RISC-V P extension defines a rich set of integer SIMD/DSP instructions operating on existing integer registers to support complex data processing within the constraints of real-time applications. However, the hardware specification is just the start - adoption and success depend on the software ecosystem, which is supported with the reference models and test suites from Imperas.
