+= SIFIVE FORK NOTES
+This is a fork of the Verilator project which adds some steps for automatically
+creating .deb and .rpm packages from a release tag. Travis is configured to
+run a build and upload a release to GitHub whenever a tag is created. You can
+simply cherry-pick the latest commit on top of a real Verilator release and
+create a tag from that.
+
+[source,sh]
+----
+# Note: You should replace 4.028 with whichever version you are trying to use.
+git remote add verilator git@github.com:verilator/verilator.git
+git fetch verilator
+git checkout v4.028
+git cherry-pick origin/master -X theirs
+# git will likely want you to resolve the fact that the README.adoc and
+# .travis.yaml files are not in the repo here.
+git add README.adoc
+git add .travis.yaml
+git cherry-pick --continue
+git tag 4.028-0sifive1
+git push origin 4.028-0sifive1
+----
+
+For posterity, the old `master` branch from this SiFive fork with the old
+instructions for performing a release is available at
+https://github.com/sifive/verilator/tree/old-master-2018-02-02.

+
+== What Verilator Does
+
+Verilator is invoked with parameters similar to GCC or Synopsys's VCS.  It
+"Verilates" the specified synthesizable Verilog or SystemVerilog code by
+reading it, performing lint checks, and optionally inserting assertion
+checks and coverage-analysis points.  It outputs single- or multi-threaded
+.cpp and .h files, the "Verilated" code.
+
+The user writes a little {cpp}/SystemC wrapper file, which instantiates the
+"Verilated" model of the user's top level module.  These {cpp}/SystemC
+files are then compiled by a {cpp} compiler (gcc/clang/MSVC++).  The
+resulting executable performs the design simulation.  Verilator also
+supports linking its generated libraries, optionally encrypted, into other
+simulators.
+
+Verilator may not be the best choice if you are expecting a full featured
+replacement for NC-Verilog, VCS or another commercial Verilog simulator, or
+if you are looking for a behavioral Verilog simulator e.g. for a quick
+class project (we recommend http://iverilog.icarus.com[Icarus Verilog] for
+this.)  However, if you are looking for a path to migrate synthesizable
+Verilog to {cpp} or SystemC, and your team is comfortable writing just a
+touch of {cpp} code, Verilator is the tool for you.
+
+== Performance
+
+Verilator does not simply convert Verilog HDL to {cpp} or SystemC.  Rather
+than only translate, Verilator compiles your code into a much faster
+optimized and optionally thread-partitioned model, which is in turn wrapped
+inside a {cpp}/SystemC/{cpp}-under-Python module.  The results are a compiled Verilog
+model that executes even on a single-thread over 10x faster than standalone
+SystemC, and on a single thread is about 100 times faster than interpreted
+Verilog simulators such as http://iverilog.icarus.com[Icarus
+Verilog]. Another 2-10x speedup might be gained from multithreading
+(yielding 200-1000x total over interpreted simulators).
+
+Verilator has typically similar or better performance versus the commercial
+Verilog simulators (Carbon Design Systems Carbonator, Modelsim, Cadence
+Incisive/NC-Verilog, Synopsys VCS, VTOC, and Pragmatic CVer/CVC). But,
+Verilator is free, so you can spend on computes rather than licenses. Thus
+Verilator gives you more cycles/dollar than anything else available.
+
+For more information on how Verilator stacks up to some of the other
+commercial and free Verilog simulators, see the
+https://www.veripool.org/verilog_sim_benchmarks.html[Verilog Simulator
+Benchmarks].  (If you benchmark Verilator, please see the notes in the
+https://verilator.org/verilator_doc.pdf[Verilator manual (PDF)], and also
+if possible post on the forums the results; there may be additional tweaks
+possible.)
