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.

One aspect that all RISC-V processor designers agreed on, both commercial vendors and open-source developers, is that quality is the key to successful IP core adoption.
The OpenHW Group have supported the adoption of RVVI from its inception through the member contributors in the OpenHW Verification Task Group, and now welcome the new features and growing adoption by the commercial community.
