A performance model of CVA6 RISC-V processor is built to evaluate performance related modifications before implementing them in RTL. Its accuracy is 99.2% on CoreMark. This model is used to evaluate a superscalar feature for CVA6. During design phase, the model helped detecting and fixing performance bugs. The superscalar feature resulted in a CVA6 performance improvement of 40% on CoreMark.
