We have selected Imperas simulation tools and RISC-V models for our design verification flow because of the quality of the models and the ease of use of the Imperas environment.
Imperas reference model of the complete RISC-V specification, the ability to add our custom instructions to the model and their experience with processor RTL DV flows were also important to our decision.

Imperas is launching some very interesting approaches to processor modeling and software testing. Historically processor models have been used in relatively small numbers, despite their enormous benefits. The Imperas business model has the potential to make processor modeling an affordable approach used widely across the industry.
