The RISC-V processor has garnered widespread attention due to its flexibility and scalability, but without efficient verification strategies, erroneous design implementations could hinder the continued promotion of RISC-V. Before RISC-V emerged, processor verification had almost become a dragon-slaying skill for most semiconductor companies. Expertise was concentrated in a few commercial companies that provided processors or … Read more
