Accellera updates UVM reference implementation

Accellera has updated the reference implementation for the Universal Verification Methodology to reflect the changes made for the latest release of the standard.

“We have been very focused on updating the UVM reference implementation to match the new IEEE 1800.2 standard,” said Justin Refice, chair of the UVM working group. “We are aligned with the enhancements that make it more powerful and easier to use, and we have worked hard to address some inconsistencies between the UVM Register Layer and other standards. Our working group received a lot of feedback on the 0.9 release, and we were able to fix the bugs that were reported. UVM 2017-1.0 also includes full documentation of the API that is provided in addition to 1800.2-2017.”

The UVM 2017-1.0 reference implementation can be downloaded for free from Accellera while the standard itself is available free of charge from the IEEE Get program, courtesy of Accellera.
