RISC-V Summit 2022: Spotlight - Improving RISC-V Quality with Verification Standards and Advanced Methodologies

RISC-V Summit 2022 Keynote talk

The freedom of RISC-V represents both new innovations in design and also the migration of verification responsibility. This keynote highlights the challenges facing SoC teams as they adopt RISC-V and provides a perspective on how the use of new verification standards and methodologies drives down cost, quality risk, and development time.

    Imperas are the pioneers in simulation technology and processor verification for RISC-V.

    While processor verification is not a new problem, there are many RISC-V suppliers, with customization and various levels of verification or conformance: customers are legitimately concerned about both quality and fragmentation. Codasip is very proud of our rigorous approach to verification– using Imperas as an important part of our quality process furthers extend our differentiation. The Imperas independence, reputation and technical strength provides our customers with further reassurance in our ‘best in class’ RISC-V processors.
