Imperas Software
Having partnered with the Wave Computing MIPS engineering team and IP customers over the past decade, our model and simulation technology has enabled MIPS-based devices to be deployed across a broad range of embedded markets.This no-cost MIPSOpenOVPsim instruction set simulator is an ideal start for developers looking to explore the potential of various SoC designs through Wave Computing’s MIPS Open program.

RISC-V represents the potential for innovation, and it is the implementation of great ideas that are really generating exceptional results.
To unlock such potentials, Andes provides the AndeSysC™ environment, an extensible and near-cycle accurate SystemC model library for all AndesCore®. SoC architects can use it to construct a SystemC based virtual platform for performance evaluation of critical code segment and hardware/software co-optimization. ACE technology helps users implement custom functions and instructions, and it directly connects to the AndeSysC™ environment. Now with the close integration with the Imperas fast reference models and tools, design teams can embark on architecture exploration with complete application software for the next generation of domain specific devices with a seamless path to ACE implementation.
