Standards

Accellera has released the latest version of the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) class reference document, with additions to the way in which testbenches can handle messages and registers.

Accellera has published version 2.4 of the Verilog-AMS standard for mixed-signal modeling and verification as the group works on a merger of the language with SystemVerilog.

The second part of our interview with Mark Olen and Jim Kenney, looks at how formal and graph-based techniques move the market beyond simulation.

The Multicore Association is getting close to publishing the first version of a specification that aims to standardise the way processor designers can describe the available parallelism

Verification conference DVCon is expanding into Europe with a two-day conference and show at the Hilton in Munich, Germany.

Accellera has vendor extensions for IP-XACT that allow tool-specific metadata to be added to support activities such as power-aware verification and floorplanning.

A Japanese government-funded project has become the basis of a standard proposed by the Multicore Association that may provide a better way of supporting development for multicore systems.

Three companies have donated technology to Accellera designed to improve TLM 2.0 modeling work, focusing on interrupts, register control and memory maps.

The group that developed the IEEE 1801 Unified Power Format standard is looking to bringing power modeling and estimation to the system level for version 3.0, due in 2015.

The latest revision of the IEEE 1801 Unified Power Format standard for verifying low-power designs has been made available through the IEEE Get Program.
