VSD - Functional Verification Using Embedded-UVM - Part 1
Introduction to Discrete Event Simulation Technology, Functional Verification, Getting acquainted with Simulation tools
Description
Now here's a course, "hand-crafted" for anyone and everyone, who want to move from back-end to front-end OR for people just curious to know and learn, what exactly happens in field of VLSI verification. The reason its "hand-crafted" is because it starts from very basics and in coming parts of this course, things will slowly move towards advanced level UVM.
Another reason for this course to be "hand-crafted" is due to the open-source tool used to cover labs introduced in this course. This is Part - 1 in the "Verification Series". This part will cover SoC design flow, basics of functional verification, trends and challenges, introduction to open-source Embedded-UVM, emulation, and the DUT
About Embedded-UVM:
Embedded UVM is an opensource implementation of IEEE 1800.2 standard of Universal Verification Methodology. In this webinar, we take a dive into Embedded UVM and its use cases as a platform for Functional Verification and SoC-FPGA based Emulation.
About Speaker:
Puneet Goel is a 1994 graduate in Electronics from Punjab Engineering College. He has 24 years of experience in the VLSI industry where he worked for STMicro, Motorola, Texas Instruments and TranSwitch. For the past 8 years, he has been working for Coverify Systems Technology, where he provides verification services and works on creating viable opensource solutions for chip verification. Puneet is the main developer of Embedded UVM.
