The UVM Primer uses simple, runnable code examples, accessible analogies, and an easy-to-read style to introduce you to the foundation of the Universal Verification Methodology. You will learn the basics of object-oriented programming with SystemVerilog and build upon that foundation to learn how to design testbenches using the UVM. Use the UVM Primer to brush up on your UVM knowledge before a job interview to be able to confidently answer questions such as "What is a uvm_agent?," "How do you use uvm_sequences?," and "When do you use the UVM's factory." The UVM Primer's downloadable code examples give you hands-on experience with real UVM code. Ray Salemi uses online videos (on www.uvmprimer.com) to walk through the code from each chapter and build your confidence. Read The UVM Primer today and start down the path to the UVM.

This book provides a hands-on, application-oriented guide to the language and methodology of both SystemVerilog Assertions and SystemVerilog Functional Coverage. Readers will benefit from the step-by-step approach to functional hardware verification using SystemVerilog Assertions and Functional Coverage, which will enable them to uncover hidden and hard to find bugs, point directly to the source of the bug, provide for a clean and easy way to model complex timing checks and objectively answer the question ‘have we functionally verified everything’. Written by a professional end-user of ASIC/SoC/CPU and FPGA design and Verification, this book explains each concept with easy to understand examples, simulation logs and applications derived from real projects. Readers will be empowered to tackle the modeling of complex checkers for functional verification, thereby drastically reducing their time to design and debug. This updated second edition addresses the latest functional set released in IEEE-1800 (2012) LRM, including numerous additional operators and features. Additionally, many of the Concurrent Assertions/Operators explanations are enhanced, with the addition of more examples and figures. · Covers in its entirety the latest IEEE-1800 2012 LRM syntax and semantics; · Covers both SystemVerilog Assertions and SystemVerilog Functional Coverage language and methodologies; · Provides practical examples of the what, how and why of Assertion Based Verification and Functional Coverage methodologies; · Explains each concept in a step-by-step fashion and applies it to a practical real life example; · Includes 6 practical LABs that enable readers to put in practice the concepts explained in the book.

Since its introduction in 2011, the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) has achieved its promise of becoming the dominant platform for semiconductor design verification. Advanced UVM delivers proven coding guidelines, convenient recipes for common tasks, and cutting-edge techniques to provide a framework within UVM. Once adopted by an organization, these strategies will create immediate benefits, and help verification teams develop scalable, high-performance environments and maximize their productivity. The second edition updates the chained sequencer, re-organizes the content, and has a few minor corrections. "Written by an experienced UVM practitioner, this book contains lots of great tips on using UVM effectively and example code that actually works!" John Aynsley, Doulos "In 'Advanced UVM', Mr. Hunter, based on his company's real world experiences, provides excellent resources, a well-tested reference verification environment, and advanced best practices on how to apply UVM. If you are ready to move beyond a UVM introduction, this should be the book you add to your library." George Taglieri, Director Verification Product Solutions, Synopsys, Inc.
