Saturn VPU cycle counter

[강준석]

Hello

I'm trying to check the cycle count in Saturn VPU(+Rocket core) using Verilator.

My Question is that "Is there the way that count the cycle of RVV Instructions(in Saturn VPU)"

When I check the Verilator, the cycle(using rdcycle) is only related to the core.

Despite the calculation of Saturn is not over, the measuring the cycle of instructions is done.

As far as I know, when the vector instructions are issued and retired(in wb stage) from the core, the VPU execute asynchronously(independently).

Best, regard
