+
+Atlas provides a helper script for running the RISC-V architecture unit tests from [riscv-software-src/riscv-tests](https://github.com/riscv-software-src/riscv-tests) Follow the directions on the [riscv-software-src/riscv-tests README](https://github.com/riscv-software-src/riscv-tests#readme) to build the tests.
+
+From the `sim` subdirectory of your build directory, run the following Python script to run the RV64 tests:
+```
+../../scripts/RunRiscVArchTest.py rv64 $RISCV_TESTS_PATH/isa/
+```
