Processor verification is challenging, and yet critical to RISC-V adoption.
ImperasDV is the first commercially available RISC-V processor verification solution, and the achievement of the tight integration with Cadence is key to the successful use of ImperasDV by NSITEXE.

In commercial semiconductor IP, quality is perhaps the highest priority for successful customer engagements, the extensive test and verification process is best achieved with extensive simulator-based testing. We have already certified the Imperas RISC-V model and simulation technology for Andes N25 and NX25 processors so expect that riscvOVPsim will quickly be adopted as an industry standard reference simulator.
