Description
Riviera is a high-level software for evaluating and simulating FPGA and ASIC chips and SoC devices. simulation capabilities HDL at an advanced level and supports the most advanced evaluation methodologies such as performance coverage, OVM, UVM, hardware acceleration and prototyping. Riviera is a new generation of engineering tools that was previously released as Riviera-Classic and is now available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Utilizing an efficient simulation engine, advanced debugging capabilities at various levels of abstraction, and support for the latest version of the hardware description languages and standard evaluation library, the program provides complete automation for the design, modeling, and simulation of these chips.
Features and features of Riviera:
- High level simulator with efficient and efficient algorithms

Single Core vs. Dual or Multi Core
Riviera-PRO is multithreaded application, thus picking a multi-core CPU is better than a single-core one.
The effect of using multi-core CPU would be seen the most in case of interactive work with the Riviera-PRO’s GUI while the simulation is running (the simulation will occupy one processor core, while the GUI operations will run on the other).
In addition the VHDL compiler takes advantage of multi-core CPU to reduce the compilation time.
Even if you don’t browse the waveform or edit your code while your simulation is running, having multi-core CPU will let your other applications be more responsive while you run a simulation in the background.
Frequency and CPU Cache size
Typically the approach here is the more the better.
Note that a larger CPU cache has a positive impact on the performance.
CPU architecture – 32 vs. 64 bit
The CPU architecture only matters if Riviera-PRO needs to allocate several gigabytes of RAM to run your design.
64 bit architecture enables allocation of 4GB RAM even for the 32 bit applications (like Riviera-PRO on Windows)
32 bit architecture is limited to 2GB on Windows and Linux that can be optionally increased up to 3GB. So, if simulation of your design does not require more than 2GB of RAM then feel free to select any CPU architecture.
Graphical card
No special recommendations here but the faster the card the more
responsive GUI operations such as Waveform will be (in case of scrolling
through large files, zooming, etc.).
RAM size
32 bit OS we recommend at least 3GB of RAM.
On 64 bit OS we recommend 4GB or more.
Note that these recommendations are considered for running one simulation in Riviera-PRO on the machine at a time. If you plan to run more than one simulation at a time than multiply the above numbers accordingly.
32 bit OS vs. 64 bit OS
Same recommendations as for selecting the CPU architecture applies
