Mentor Graphics Donates Unified Coverage Database (UCDB) to the Accellera Unified Coverage Interoperability Standard (UCIS) Tech

Business Wire
Mentor Graphics (Nasdaq:MENT) today announced the donation of its
Unified Coverage Database (UCDB) specification and application
programming interface (API), which manage all coverage data from
multiple tools, to Accellera�s Unified Coverage Database
Interoperability (UCIS) Technical Subcommittee, the organization
for electronic design industry standards. �Mentor Graphics is
pleased its UCDB has been selected by Accellera to promote further
standardization in verification management,� said Dennis Brophy,
Director of Strategic Business Development, Mentor Graphics. �This
is the same API that is used in our Questa verification platform
today and offers production-proven technology as the basis for
standardization within Accellera.� Coverage metrics are used to
quantify verification effectiveness and to highlight verification
shortcomings that require attention. Coverage metrics come from
numerous sources, including simulation, static design checking,
functional formal verification, sequential equivalence checking and
emulation. Each verification tool generally creates one or more
collection of coverage metrics that may be discrete, overlapping,
or subsets of one another. One of the key roles of the verification
team is to bring this voluminous information together and interpret
it so the verification team can determine verification
completeness. �Managing verification information for verification
closure is a major focus in the electronics industry, and we
applaud Mentor�s timely donation to Accellera,� stated Shrenik
Mehta, Accellera chairman. �Mentor�s unified coverage database
specification and API improves the verification process, and the
fact that this technology is actually proven through partner and
customer usage makes this donation particularly valuable as an open
standard.� The Mentor Graphics UCDB donation includes the C
language API header files and the UCDB API Reference and UCDB API
User Guide documentation. About Accellera�s Unified Coverage
Interoperability Standard The Accellera Unified Coverage
Interoperability Standard (UCIS) Technical Subcommittee (TSC) was
formed through active participation of the design community and EDA
suppliers. The goals of the UCIS TSC are to identify
interoperability opportunities between various coverage sources,
define standard coverage models for commonly used metrics, design
an interoperability standard that allows coverage data to be
exchanged among EDA vendors� tools and IC vendors� environments,
and encourage user and EDA technology advancement for the next
generation of coverage solutions. UCIS is open to everyone without
requiring non-disclosure agreements or proprietary licenses, and
all parties are invited to participate in the development of the
standard. For more information about the Accellera Unified Coverage
