At MIPS we are experienced in bringing advanced computing technology, such as hardware multi-threading, to market as applications-class processors.
As part of the strategic move to RISC-V, we fully appreciate the needs, implications and requirements for a high-quality verification solution. The Imperas Reference Model enables lock-step-compare with asynchronous events which is the foundation of our SystemVerilog testbench and verification methodology.

The Golden RISC-V Reference Model was used as the “go/no-go” model to determine the RTL correct behavior with any discrepancies, bugs or issues with the design, tests, specifications, or test bench.
