RISC-V has made the successful transition from an academic project to achieve commercial adoption. We see a universal need for quality and design assurance that can be supported by riscvOVPsim across all projects as PULP RI5CY cores are increasingly implemented in commercial SoC development.

Silicon Laboratories
Simulation is central to the entire semiconductor design and verification flow, and while a processor is described in Verilog RTL, the industry standard for testbenches is SystemVerilog.
The Verification Task Group is addressing the challenges of processor verification using the Imperas RISC-V golden model encapsulated within our UVM SystemVerilog methodologies.
