Accellera Day India

Join us for Accellera Day India on November 14, 2018. Held in Bangalore, India, Accellera Day India will be similar in format to Accellera Day held each year at DVCon U.S. The morning features an in-depth technical tutorial exploring the new Portable Test and Stimulus Standard 1.0, followed by a luncheon and keynote given by Srini Maddali, Vice President of Technology at Qualcomm India. In the afternoon, SystemVerilog and UVM guru Cliff Cummings will dive into the changes and features that are part of the new IEEE 1800.2 standard for UVM.

New UVM Technical Tutorial Available

On April 11, 2017, the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) approved the IEEE 1800.2™ Standard for Universal Verification Methodology (UVM). For the tens of thousands of UVM verification engineers, this milestone connects teams to a standard recognized worldwide. The new IEEE-Compatible UVM Reference Implementation and Verification Components technical tutorial introduces you to the new reference implementation aligned with IEEE 1800.2 and created by the Accellera UVM Working Group. The speakers use the new reference implementation to describe the new features and changes relative to UVM 1.2. Viewers will learn the steps they need to take to update their verification components to be IEEE-compatible. Code examples will help viewers gain the practical knowledge they need to adopt the IEEE 1800.2™ Standard for UVM. View tutorial >

Accellera Approves New Portable Test and Stimulus Standard

The Accellera Board of Directors has approved Portable Test and Stimulus 1.0 as an Accellera standard. The Portable Test and Stimulus Standard (PSS) defines a specification to create a single representation of stimulus and test scenarios usable by a variety of users across many levels of integration under different configurations. This representation facilitates the generation of diverse implementations of a scenario that run on a variety of execution platforms, including, but not necessarily limited to, simulation, emulation, FPGA prototyping, and post-silicon. With this standard, users can specify a set of behaviors once and observe consistent behavior across multiple implementations. The new standard is available immediately to download for free.

Release notes stating the differences between the Early Adopter II Release to the 1.0 standard are available. For more information, a press release and supporting industry quotes are also available. Accellera’s Portable Stimulus Community is also a resource for the latest information available on the new standard.
