RISC-V FutureWatch - Imperas: The 360 Ecosystem of RISC-V
summary
Imperas provides a full RISC‑V reference model that implements the ratified and stable unratified spec, exposes 250+ configurable parameters and an extension library for custom instructions, and runs both as a virtual platform (hundreds of MIPS performance) and as the golden model for processor DV. More than 100+ organizations use the free OVP simplus, about 20–30 commercial customers use Imperas tools with custom instructions, and Imperas DV plus RVVI and asynchronous step-and-compare flows become the industry de facto for RISC‑V verification.
