instruction set architecture

Imperas Software has released a free instruction set simulator that covers the OpenHW Group's implementations of the RISC-V processor architecture.

DAC provided a forum for the growing number of verification efforts focused on checking the architectural compliance and overall RTL quality of RISC-V processors.

Arm has relented on its opposition to custom instructions with the decision to let customers add them to V8-M processors.

Open-source hardware, in-field configurability, and a hardware-plus-services approach could protect margins as the IoT hammers down costs, says GSA report.
