Imperas and Industry Articles

In the recent edition of Military Embedded Systems, Larry Lapides of Imperas, gives insights into work at JPL in the 70s and was there when the Viking landed on Mars. He writes about semiconductors, design teams, software releases, and simulation... and of course safety, securityand extra-functional features...

Inflection point for RISC-V: The 7th RISC-V workshop in Silicon Valley

Imperas participated in the 7th RISC-V workshop in Milpitas, California, with a talk and demonstrations. 

Each workshop has a different feel to it, and this one seems to be the inflection point in RISC-V maturity. Whereas past workshops felt a bit like a revival tent meeting, with most everyone caught up in the religion of RISC-V, at this workshop there was also a strong...

Peggy Aycinena (freelance journalist and Editor of EDA Confidential at www.aycinena.com) interviewed Simon Davidmann (Imperas CEO) on EDACafe about the recent Imperas Tutorial at DAC 2017 on Virtual Platform Based Linux Bring Up Methodology. 

The discussion was wide-ranging and they also covered IP, operating systems, embedded / hardware-dependent software, and more.

The 6th RISC-V Workshop was held May 8-11 in Shanghai.   RISC-V is, of course, the open-source processor architecture invented and introduced by the University of California, Berkeley in 2014. The previous workshop, held last November in Silicon Valley, attracted around 350 participants; this workshop about the same.

The opening statement of the Imperas presentation at the workshop was "The size of the RISC-V market share will depend more on the software ecosystem than on specifics of RISC-V implementations."  The meat of the presentation focused on modern embedded software development methodology, specifically on Continuous Integration Continuous Test (CI / CT) subset of the Agile methodology.
