Benchmarks for Verilator? #4069

Closed burntfalafel closed 1 year ago

burntfalafel commented 1 year ago

Hi! Are there any reliable benchmarks I could use in Verilator for a research paper?

I have tried VTR datasets and EPFL ones but for both the verilog is in a netlist format / a format not supported by Verilator readily.

Thanks!

See the Swerv cores that are part of https://github.com/verilator/verilator_ext_tests

You can also consider lowrisc/OpenTitan, or OpenXiangShan/XiangShan which are the two I often use

As bonus credit, consider submitting a pull to add OpenTitan and/or XiangShan to the verilator_ext_tests.

Also note the test_driver script has a --benchmark option to print the times used by each step.

I will have a look at them, thank you! But please go ahead with the PR for this as I cannot take the credit for your contribution :)
