RECERCAT author Quiroga, Josue author Genovese, Roberto Ignacio author Díaz, Ivan author Yano, Henrique author Ali, Asif author Sommez, Nehir author Palomar Pérez, Óscar author JImenez, Victor author Rodriguez, Mario author Dominguez, Marc 2023 This paper presents a reusable verification environment developed for the verification of an academic RISC-V based vector accelerator that operates with long vectors. In order to be used across diverse projects, this infrastructure intends to be independent of the interface used for connecting the accelerator to the scalar processor core. We built a verification infrastructure consisting of a Universal Verification Environment (UVM) which is capable of validating the design performing co-simulation of the vector instructions. Moreover, we provided a set of tests and an automated test generation, simulation and error reporting infrastructure. This paper shares our experience on verifying a complex accelerator used in two distinct projects, with different interfaces.This research has received funding from the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (JU) under Framework Partnership Agreement No 800928 (European Processor Initiative) and Specific Grant Agreement No 101036168 (EPI SGA2) and No 956702 (eProcessor) .
