Panel: Future SoC verification methodology: UVM evolution or revolution?
نویسندگان
چکیده
With increasing design complexity System on Chip (SoC) verification is becoming a more and more important and challenging aspect of the overall development process. The Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) is thereby a common solution to this problem; although it still keeps some problems unsolved. In this panel leading experts from industry (both users and vendors) and academy will discuss the future of SoC verification methodology.

Leveraging the UVM Register Abstraction Layer for Memory Sub-System Verification Implementing Memory Sequence Reuse Across Multiple Underlying Bus Protocols
Memory sub-systems are a ubiquitous part of any SoC design. While the mechanics of how to model and stimulate registers are well documented, the topic of memory verification has lagged behind. This paper will demonstrate how, by using the UVM register abstraction layer (UVM_REG), sequences written for one block can be vertically reused. By using the “frontdoor” mechanism to convert from abstrac...
متن کاملA methodology for vertical Reuse of functional verification from subsystem to SoC level with seamless SoC emulation
Verifying a complex SoC is challenging. The testbench and testcases must be developed early as these are used for everything from SoC verification to achieve higher coverage on features/protocol coverage, i/f integration and performance verification. Time to market makes early software development a necessity. Verification assisted with early software development needs more than dynamic simulat...
متن کاملFirst Reports from the UVM Trenches: User-friendly, Versatile and Malleable, or just the Emperor's New Methodology?
For us, UVM arrived at exactly the right time. Our large new project evidently called for more powerful verification techniques than its predecessors. At the same time, a change of tool chain was on the horizon, bringing cross-vendor compatibility concerns to the fore. Finally, many members of the team were beginning to take their first steps in OOP and constrained-random verification, making i...
متن کاملMaking it Easy to Deploy the UVM
The Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) is becoming the dominant approach for the verification of large digital designs. However, new users often express concern about the effort required to generate a complete and useful UVM testbench. But the practical experience collected in numerous OVM and UVM projects during the last few years shows a different view. The UVM is a very suitable method...
متن کاملEnriching UVM in SystemC with AMS extensions for randomization and functional coverage*
The Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) is a coverage driven verification approach, which has become the standard for the verification of digital systems. The framework provided by UVM makes it possible to create structured test environments, which facilitates the reuse of verification components and scenarios. However, the UVM library is only available for SystemVerilog, limiting the veri...
