Programme overview
This 3 day course is for Verification Engineers with experience using the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) who wish to take their skills and knowledge of the library to the next level. Real world UVM testbenches have issues that require knowing how to apply the UVM library to solve them. Issues such as multiple interfaces to the DUT, concurrent process synchronization, interrupts and transaction responses. In this Advanced UVM class you will gain experience in dealing with these and other testbench challenges.
Due to demand, this course is being rerun on:
26 - 28 April
24 - 26 May
It will be rerun on 27 - 29 Sept with a change of trainer: Nigel Woolaway
Learning outcomes
The class works through various testbench issues and challenges, describing and recommending solutions. You will be able to apply these solutions to your testbench. You will also take away from this class detailed real world example testbenches that provide a great reference in doing your testbench.
Who is the course for?
UVM Verification engineers who want a deeper understanding of the library and the methodology. A knowledge of UVM and the SystemVerilog language, especially object oriented SV, is a prerequisite.
