dac22-lbr-experiments

This repository contains the implementation of the experiments for the DAC 2022 Late Breaking Results paper "A Toolbox for Waveform Based RISC-V Processor Analysis".

File Description

riscv-lib.wal

The library code for analyzing RISC-V processors. This code is generic and only requires some processor-specific code to be ported to new processors.

vexriscv.wal

Processor-specific code for the VexRiscv processor. Implements the Instruction per Cycle and Pipeline Stall analysis.

ibex.wal

Processor-specific code for the IBEX processor. Implements the Instruction per Cycle and Pipeline Stall analysis.

picorv32.wal

Processor-specific code for the PicoRV32 processor. Only implements the Instruction per Cycle analysis since PicoRV32 is not pipelined.

serv.wal

Processor-specific code for the SERV processor. Only implements the Instruction per Cycle analysis since SERV is not pipelined.
