Optimizing Verification Methodology for Ensuring RISC-V Core Integrity

RISC-V architecture is an open standard ISA that breaks free from traditional proprietary architectures, empowering industry and academia alike to enter the chip design area. From established semiconductor giants to innovative startups, RISC-V is democratising access to processor design, fostering unparalleled innovation and competition.

Delivering reliable and bug-free processors is essential for any RISC-V company. Silicon recalls are cost-heavy and detrimental to an emerging RISC-V market. Thorough and meticulous verification helps uncover even the most obscure bugs before production, ensuring high design quality minimizing post-launch issues and driving time-to-market decisions.
