Sv39

Concept

Sv39 is a RISC-V virtual memory scheme that uses 39-bit virtual addresses and defines a multi-level page table structure for address translation. In RISC-V verification, Sv39 page table walks can be specifically targeted by directed MMU test suites such as ImperasTS-MMU to close coverage gaps and expose translation-related implementation issues.

Overview

Sv39 is a RISC-V virtual memory scheme. It uses 39-bit virtual addresses and defines a multi-level page table structure for address translation.

Sv39 is discussed alongside Sv48, another RISC-V virtual memory scheme that uses 48-bit virtual addresses. Both schemes are relevant to verification activities involving page table walks and address translation behavior.
