Revolutionizing Embedded Software Development

Imperas is now a part of Synopsys

Imperas at Verification Futures UK, June 22 2023

Imperas presents the latest advances for RISC-V Verification with RISC-V Processor Reference Models and Verification IP.

Verification Futures Conference 2023 UK

Imperas Software Ltd., the leader in RISC-V models and simulation solutions, today announced their participation at Verification Futures UK 2023, including a talk on the latest developments and implication for RISC-V processor verification. 


Presentation: 
RISC-V verification and implications of the 5:1 ratio of DV to design engineers

Speaker:
Simon Davidmann, President & CEO at Imperas Software

Abstract:
It has been reported that a typical SoC project plan assumes 1 DV (Design Verification) engineer to every design engineer as a basic 1:1 ratio. But for processor verification, the ratio of DV engineers is closer to 5:1. The rapid growth in the adoption of RISC-V and the design freedoms offered by the open standard ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) specification is driving a new wave of processor developers pushing the boundaries of optimized processors. As the industry prepares for the coming tsunami of verification work this talk highlights the growing RISC-V Verification Ecosystem based on open standards and extensions to the classic SoC methods of SystemVerilog and UVM.
RISC-V represents the greatest shift in verification responsibility as the challenge of processor verification shifts to all developers exploring the new design freedoms of RISC-V.

Comments

  • Dr. Luca Benini, chair of digital circuits and systems and one of the originators of the RISC-V PULP project

    ETH Zurich

    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.

    SiFive

    SiFive’s Core Designer allows our customers to customize our broad portfolio of RISC-V Core IP for their particular application. The donation of a robust, commercial-quality simulator such as riscvOVPsim™ will enable them to adopt RISC-V even faster. This is the level of close industry collaboration that will drive the successful adoption of RISC-V.
