Ripes is a graphical processor simulator and assembly editor for the RISC-V ISA, built with Qt. It visualizes how machine code executes on RV32/RV64 microarchitectures, including cache behavior and memory-mapped I/O.

Use cases

• visualize how RISC-V machine code executes on a pipelined processor
• learn computer architecture concepts like cache design and performance
• assemble and simulate RISC-V assembly code step by step
• explore how C code compiles down to RISC-V machine code
• simulate memory-mapped I/O interaction with a processor
• teach a computer architecture course with a visual CPU simulator

When to choose

• you need a visual, interactive way to learn or teach RISC-V processor internals
• you want to compare cache designs and their performance impact
• you need a cross-platform or in-browser RISC-V assembly simulator

When to avoid

• you need a fast, scriptable RISC-V emulator for running real software
• you require cycle-accurate simulation of a specific commercial processor
• you need a headless or CLI-only simulation environment
