Mentor Graphics First to Support Accellera UCIS with Questa Functional Verification Platform

Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) announced support for the
newly approved Accellera Systems Initiative Unified Coverage
Interoperability Standard (UCIS) version 1.0 via the Questa® UCIS
API library. Mentor made the original donation of the Questa
Unified Coverage Database (UCDB) application programming interface
(API) specification, which was selected as the basis for the now
ratified standard.
The UCIS API allows utilities to be developed to perform
ranking, merging, analysis and reporting that is vendor
independent. Within the Questa verification platform, this database
API has been used as the basis of the Questa Verification
Management (VM) tools, which include these utilities plus many more
higher-level applications such as testplan tracking, trend
analysis, results analysis and regression management. In addition
to the standard coverage models for all metrics generated by Mentor
tools, the API supports third-party and user coverage access to the
Questa Unified Coverage Database (UCDB). This openness allows users
and partners to bring coverage data from other languages and tools
into the UCDB.
“Managing the verification process and achieving coverage
closure rank at the top of today’s verification challenges,” said
John Lenyo, vice president and general manager of the Design
Verification Technology division of Mentor Graphics. “Mentor was
pleased to work with the committee to finalize the standard to
realize our vision. Mentor joins our customers to celebrate the
formal approval of the Accellera UCIS standard, as an important
piece of a comprehensive coverage solution.”
“We applaud Mentor’s support of the UCIS standard, a standard
that grew from Mentor’s UCDB technology donation to Accellera,”
said Shishpal Rawat, chair of Accellera Systems Initiative.
"Managing the ever growing amount of verification information from
multiple sources to improve the verification closure process is an
industry imperative that adoption of this standard helps
address."
Questa Vanguard Partnership (QVP) program participants have
immediate access to the Questa implementation of the UCIS API to
access the coverage database to promote sharing of verification
results and help users determine if their verification goals have
been met using the Questa VM solution. Adoption of the standard is
enhanced with a migration path from the original UCDB API to the
UCIS API that allows current integrations continued access to
existing UCDB databases. QVP members have immediate access to
Questa VM extensions like testplan management that offer another
level of integration beyond what is supported by the standard
today.
“Test and Verification Solutions’ asureVIP™ development program
has seen vast improvements in productivity, efficiency and delivery
quality using Questa VM built on UCDB, the basis for UCIS,” said
Mike Bartley, founder and CEO of TVS. “With the presence of this
fundamental enabling technology, now a standard, it relieves us of
the need to develop complex scripts to manage coverage output.”

About UCIS
UCIS is a first step towards the creation of a unified coverage
database that allows for interoperability of verification coverage
data across multiple tools from multiple vendors. With the growing
complexity of chip design, coverage metrics are critical to
measuring and guiding design verification. UCIS offers chip
designers a standardized way to model and access information among
different tools to achieve full verification closure. UCIS allows
users to write their own applications, access information, analyze,
grade, merge, and report coverage from one or more databases from
one or more tool vendors. The standard is built on an open API,
which provides a path to exchange coverage databases without
requiring a common code library between tools and vendors.
