    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.

    OVP is widely used by our customers, who demanded the integration with CyberWorkBench. This integration significantly broadens CWB's HW/SW co-verification support. We were also very impressed with Imperas technical support helping us achieve this integration extremely quickly and efficiently.
