RISC-V is ideal for the latest compute requirements of single-core embedded controllers through to multicore arrays for high performance computing applications.
Companies like Imperas are leading the charge in making SoC design and verification flow easier to further accelerate the mass adoption of RISC-V.

The UVM SystemVerilog testbenches of the OpenHW Verification Task Group, which are publicly available, are well implemented to effectively support multiple RISC-V based 64-bit and 32-bit CPU cores. The common verification methodology shared by these testbenches does a good job in identifying issues and supporting the analysis and resolution.
The Imperas reference model incapsulated within the testbenches is a key component to enable the step-and-compare interactive checking approach for efficient error resolution.
