Libre-SOC Cavatools: Power ISA Simulator

Power ISA Simulator

Cavatools is a high performance ISA simulator, similar to qemu. However unlike qemu, cavatools is designed with two goals in mind: to provide accurate guidance on instruction effectiveness, and to run at close to real-time performance on multi-core host systems.

The only hardware that cavatools currently supports is cycle-accurate emulation of RISC-V: this Grant is intended to add not only the Power ISA but also add the Draft SVP64 Cray-style Vector Extensions being developed by Libre-SOC (and sponsored by NLnet). Other work includes being able to verify and compare multiple independent implementations, running the same program, to check interoperability, whether in emulators, hardware simulations, simulators or actual ASICs.

Run by The Commons Conservancy
