Lightning Talk: Design Verification with Step and Compare for Lee Moore Simon Davidmann
Lightning Talk: Design Verification with StepandCompare for RISCV Vector Extensions Lee Moore Simon Davidmann, Imperas Software The RISCV vector extensions represent the most extensive and complex extensions yet for the RISCV ISA. As a flexible and modular ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) the RISCV standard extensions offer developers significant flexibility to configure and tune an implementation to the target application needs and requirements. The RISCV Vectors Extensions offer extensive options and configurations to address a wide range of hardware accelerator requirements. Thus, designs span from edge devices to cloud based accelerators, across the spectrum of compute requirements. Working with the team at BCS (Barcelona Supercomputing Center) the complexity of the Vector accelerator engine has been supported with the adaption of the stepandcompare verification methodology to address the coverage and scoreboarding requirements for the RISCV Vector Extensions.
