So it is with two hats on that I encourage you to check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dvcon.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DVCon <\/a>website.<\/p>\n<p>With my &#8220;General Chair hat&#8221; on, I&#8217;d like to point out that we&#8217;ve actually expanded the conference to add an extra set of half-day tutorials on Monday afternoon, Feb. 22. That&#8217;s right! While other conferences are shrinking or disbanding altogether, DVCon is growing! You can see the full technical program on the DVCon site as well.<\/p>\n<p>With my &#8220;Mentor hat&#8221; on, I draw your attention to Mentor&#8217;s half-day tutorial, &#8220;A Step-by-step Guide to Advanced Verification&#8221; on Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 23. In this tutorial, we&#8217;re going to walk you through all the steps of assembling a verification environment, from verification planning to partitioning and assembling your OVM environment at the block, subsystem and system levels. We&#8217;ll also show how to take advantage of our other advanced technologies within the OVM framework, like our inFact Intelligent Testbench Automation tool and Questa MVCs for protocol verification. We&#8217;ll also discuss low-power and clock-domain crossing verification, processor-based verification and emulation. This tutorial will walk through an actual example that you&#8217;ll be able to download and play with yourself after the conference.<\/p>\n<p>So, don&#8217;t forget to register for DVCon. If you register before January 29, you&#8217;ll get a discount on your registration and also be eligible for the special $149 room rate at the DoubleTree.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to seeing you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Gang, As you may know, in addition to my duties here at Mentor, I&#8217;m also the General Chair of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":71936,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spanish_translation":"","french_translation":"","german_translation":"","italian_translation":"","polish_translation":"","japanese_translation":"","chinese_translation":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[442,623,819],"industry":[],"product":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-dvcon","tag-ovm","tag-verification"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/71936"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=338"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14558,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338\/revisions\/14558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=338"},{"taxonomy":"industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industry?post=338"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=338"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
