The Mentor Graphics user group meeting, User-2-User<\/a>, in Santa Clara is all set.\u00a0 U2U will be held on 26 April 2011 at the Santa Clara Marriott and one of the tracks will feature functional verification<\/a> after keynote presentations<\/a> by Mentor\u2019s CEO, Wally Rhines and Xilinx\u2019s CTO, Ivo Bolsens.<\/p>\n Registration<\/a> for the event is open and is fee-free.\u00a0 U2U includes a complimentary lunch, evening reception and raffle along with the technical program.<\/p>\n The functional verification track opens with a presentation by Mentor\u2019s Steve Chappell on how Mentor is \u201ctransforming verification\u201d followed by three user presentations.\u00a0 The three user presentations share a common theme that highlight how they have leveraged the Open Verification Methodology<\/a> (OVM) to improve their verification productivity.\u00a0 A couple presentations will also offer their views of the Accellera Universal Verification Methodology<\/a> (UVM).<\/p>\n For users interested in the most current information on adoption and use of OVM and UVM, connecting with other users is probably the best source of unbiased information available.\u00a0 Here are three presentations that can help you understand how three users get the most out OVM and UVM when coupled with Mentor technology.<\/p>\n Using OVM with Transaction and Emulation Based Simulation Acceleration Case Study “Proving OVM on a Real Design” – Testimonial by AppliedMicro Verifying Bus Bridges with Questa Verification IP<\/strong> User Adoption of OVM Featured; Views on UVM Discussed The Mentor Graphics user group meeting, User-2-User, in Santa Clara is…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":71541,"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":[326,506,623,732,776,787,835],"industry":[],"product":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-4104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-accellera","tag-functional-verification","tag-ovm","tag-standards","tag-u2u","tag-uvm","tag-vip"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4104","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\/71541"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4104"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4104\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14639,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4104\/revisions\/14639"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4104"},{"taxonomy":"industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industry?post=4104"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=4104"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=4104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}User Presentations<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n<\/strong>Galen Blake | Verification Lead | Altera
\n<\/strong><\/em>Using OVM (or UVM) with transaction and emulation based simulation acceleration platforms.\u00a0 The OVM library is not quite as well suited to transaction and emulator based simulation acceleration.\u00a0 This presentation examines the problems and approaches to address them.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Shing Sheung Tse | Senior Verification Manager | AppliedMicro
\n<\/strong><\/em>This case study will present how APM overcame their verification challenges with Mentor\u2019s advanced verification methodology and the decision to choose OVM.\u00a0 APM will also present their view on UVM.<\/p>\n
\nSudararajan Haran | Verification Lead | Microsemi
\n<\/strong><\/em>Microsemi moved to OVM-based verification environments and decided to use industry standard VIPs as much as possible.\u00a0\u00a0 This presentation will highlight Microsemi\u2019s experiences using Mentor\u2019s AHB and AXI VIP’s to drive the verification of our AHB_AXI and AXI_AHB bridges to a quicker completion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
