DAC 2020

Imperas Software Ltd., the leader in high-performance software simulation and virtual platforms, today announced their participation at Virtual DAC 2020 on the RISC-V pavilion with presentations plus a virtual booth for demos and discussions. 

RISC-V Pavilion Presentation: ‘What’s next for RISC-V? Vectors, Verification, and Value-added Extensions’

  • Speaker:         Simon Davidmann – Imperas Software
  • When:             Tuesday July 21st, 12:30pm, RISC-V Pavilion

     Online recording available (Until September 1st 2020) at this link.

 

RISC-V Pavilion Presentation: ‘Verification of RISC-V Open ISA processors: compliance is just the starting point; reference model and coverage metrics are key to verification quality’’

  • Speaker:          Simon Davidmann – Imperas Software
  • When:              Tuesday July 21st, 1:00pm, RISC-V Pavilion

     Online recording available (Until September 1st 2020) at this link.

This presentation is part of a series of 3 talks focused on ‘Verification of RISC-V Open ISA processors: New Freedoms in Design Require New and Improved Verification Methodologies’ with additional invited talks by the OpenHW Group and Valtrix Technologies.
Recording for all 3 sessions now available (Until September 1st 2020) at this link.
 

 

Mentor Verification Academy Presentation: ‘Extending SoC Design Verification Methods for RISC-V Processor DV’
       Abstract: As SoC developers adopt RISC-V and the design freedoms that an Open ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) offers, DV teams will need to address the new verification challenges of RISC-V based SoCs. The established SoC verifications tasks and methods are well proven, yet depend on the industry wide assumption of ‘known good processor IP’. However, the new DV challenges are not purely focused on the processor IP. Since an Open ISA allows much greater design freedom, the impact extends well into the SoC itself. Mentor’s Questa is fundamental to the RISC V processor verification with the RTL of the processor DUT (Device Under Test) and a RISC-V golden reference model encapsulated in the SystemVerilog UVM testbench allows step-and-compare testing. This talk outlines the new test methods including instruction stream generators, reference models and SystemVerilog testbenches for Questa and includes results from testing some popular open source RISC-V cores.

  • Speaker:          Simon Davidmann – Imperas Software
  • Co-Authors:    L. Moore, L. Lapides, K. McDermott – Imperas Software
  • When:              To Be Announced, Mentor Verification Academy
