Programme overview
This 3-day Advanced UVM training class teaches advanced and expert UVM Verification techniques. This course is not recommended for engineers who are new to UVM or engineers with less than two years of UVM verification experience.
This course is being rerun on 21 - 23 Nov to meet demand after a previous rerun on 7 - 9 Mar 2023.
Learning outcomes
Engineers following this course will learn advanced UVM techniques enabling them to create more powerful UVM test environments and better and more thorough tests more easily and more quickly.
Who is the course for?
Engineers with a minimum of 2 years UVM experience, who wish to learn expert techniques in UVM verification of digital IC designs. Specifically, a basic knowledge of the following aspects of UVM is assumed:
• testbench structure: classes/components, phases, factory – how to create components, how components communicate
▪ ports etc
▪ analysis ports etc
• stimulus generation: transactions, sequences, sequencers
• config DB
• reporting
• overview of register layer
Schedule
This course consists of a mixture of lectures and exercises. Workshops comprise approximately 50% of class time, and are based around carefully designed exercises to reinforce and challenge the extent of learning.

Trainer Profile
Matthew Taylor has been a member of the Doulos team since 2014, where he teaches classes in VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog and UVM.
Prior to joining Doulos he was at Sony for 16 years where he was involved in the project management, design and verification of ICs for digital TV and mobile phones. He has delivered 175 training courses for Doulos, training in excess of 1600 engineers. Of these courses, 38 are UVM courses, training in excess of 400 engineers in UVM.
Matthew is also responsible for maintaining and developing the EDA Playground online IDE, which enables students to work on lab exercises online and enables Doulos instructors to closely monitor their progress during those exercises.
