RISC-V Custom Instruction Flow Application Note


A RISC-V processor has several defined decode spaces, for example custom0, custom1 etc. into which new custom instructions can be added. OVP Fast processor models can be extended without modification to the pre-compiled and verified base processor model source code using one or more extension libraries. An extension library can be loaded as part of a virtual platform definition in addition to t... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power


Mirabilis Design debuted an AI-driven tool for performance analysis and architecture exploration of SoCs and embedded systems. VisualSim AI Processor Generator creates pipeline-accurate models that have port integration with standard buses and memories, which is used to compare different processor families, optimize the specification and identify system bottlenecks. The generated model supports... » read more
