Mentor Graphics Underscores Support for OVM and Extends That Support to UVM Across Multiple Products

Marketwired
Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced it will
continue to deliver comprehensive support for the Open Verification
Methodology (OVM), and is extending that same level of support for
the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM). Key technologies that
support OVM and have been extended to support UVM include the
Questa® advanced verification platform, the Questa Multi-view
Verification Components library and the Veloce® emulation platform.
The Questa advanced functional verification platform offers
native support for UVM by virtue of its industry-leading support of
the IEEE Std 1800™ SystemVerilog standard on which UVM is based.
This support includes comprehensive language feature support,
native single-kernel simulation and full functional debug of
SystemVerilog.
The Questa MVC library has added native support for UVM. This
allows early adopters of the UVM to access to a comprehensive
verification IP (VIP) solution supporting a wide range of
industry-standard protocols without the need for any manual
conversion, interoperability, or wrapper layers. The Questa MVC
library dramatically improves verification coverage and helps speed
the functional verification of integrated circuits (ICs) using
industry-standard protocols. As a result, users of MVCs can expect
to see an improved time to market and a higher quality product.
In addition, the Veloce® emulation platform fully supports the
UVM. The primary advantage to companies using both the UVM/OVM and
the Veloce platform is the ability to use a single
transaction-based testbench for both simulation and emulation --
two technologies that are critical to the functional verification
of large, complex system-on-chip (SoCs) designs.
"From the beginning with the first open-source methodology --
the AVM -- through the de facto standard OVM, and now with the
Accellera UVM effort, Mentor has continually pushed for the goals
of verification data portability, verification IP reuse, freely
available base class libraries and open source licensing," said
John Lenyo, general manager, Design Verification Technology (DVT)
division. "Mentor will continue to enhance our verification product
line to incorporate even more OVM and UVM capabilities."
UVM Based on OVM The UVM Early Adopter
release is based on OVM 2.1.1. It unites the industry around a
single standard verification methodology from Accellera. For OVM
users who would like to use UVM now, the UVM Early Adopter kit
provides a Perl script to automate the change of OVM symbols to UVM
in their code to make it ready for UVM.
Availability OVM is available at
www.ovmworld.org and UVM is available from Accellera at
http://www.accellera.org/activities/vip. For those attending the
Design Automation Conference (DAC), June 14 - 16, learn more at the
OVM World booth # 1350.
Questa Functional Verification Platform
The Questa functional verification platform combines high
performance and high capacity with the most comprehensive
verification capabilities in the industry. Assertion-based
Verification (ABV), intelligent testbench automation, Multi-view
Verification Components (MVCs), and Coverage-driven Verification
(CDV) are supported natively by the Questa platform's
high-performance assertion engine; a modern, high-performance
constraint solver; and extensive functional coverage features,
including verification management leveraging the Unified Coverage
Database (UCDB). Verification of low power design functionality can
be proven in an RTL environment with power-aware functional
verification. This full set of advanced verification functionality
is enabled by a flexible methodology (UVM/OVM) that delivers
unrivaled language and feature support in any design and
verification flow.
