The reason why UVM came up with such phases is because synchronization among all design-testbench was necessary. Using Verilog and VHDL, verification engineers did not have facilities such as clocking ...
When we verify a System on Chip (SoC) that embeds microprocessors with several digital peripherals, and possibly analog blocks as well, we want to check all the implemented features and possible ...
At the same time as the number of transistors on your average chip doubles every 18 months, the verification cycle has shrunk from 18 to 12 months, which in the near future will become as low as six ...
