DVCon Europe 2016: Slicing Through the UVM’s Red Tape - A Frustrated User’s Survival Guide
Tuesday, October 18th, 2016 by Paul MarriottJonathan Bromley will be presenting a paper on Thursday 20th, in session 1 (3:15-4:30PM), examining some of the challenges and frustrations for novice and intermediate-level users of the UVM on real projects.
This paper looks at typical examples of such challenges, and offers solutions that respect fundamental aims of the UVM: consistency, reusability, and expressive power.
If you’ve struggled with the integration of directed tests, external models into the sequences mechanism, reconciling the abstract and the untimed nature of sequences with the need for precise control over stimulus timing, proper use of the configuration database, or working with a parameterized device-under-test, this presentation might be for you.
A full description of the tutorial is detailed in the DVCon Europe 2016 conference program
