Original RISCV_VP is begin from 2018. And the official website is 1.
vp++ github is is a extended and improved successor of the RISC-V based Virtual Prototype (VP) github , the VP-plusplus author is google scholar .
The iccd20_vp_based_adaptive_simulation paper optimize the performance of ISS, and show the speed between QEMU and RISC-V VP, if enable the JIT compiler optimization.
The VP++ author proposal the 2025DATE_Fast_Interpreter-based_ISS method to speed up the ISS, and up to 400 MIPS, and 2023GLSVLSI_GUI-VP_Kit can bootup the linux kernel.
dts is needed by linux bootup.
systemc book is from systemc official website.
