New Blog - All About e & Specman

As part of Cadence's commitment to support IEEE 1647 e, Team Specman is launching this blog to serve up technical tips, tricks, examples, and observations about developments in IEEE 1647 "e" language-related technologies, methodologies, Specman core engines, and the language itself.

We intend to make this blog VERY technical; including code examples in as many posts as possible.  Additionally, we will be inviting "guest bloggers" from Specman R&D to give you some peaks at what goes on under-the-hood, as well as Application Engineers from the Cadence Field organization to share what new trends that are seeing in their territories.

But what if you aren't an e/Specman user, and you even have "SystemVerilog Forever!" tattooed on your arm?  That's OK -- Team Specman welcomes you to this blog as well, and we suspect you will find a home here.  Why?  Because in many cases the issues that this blog will be addressing are universal to functional verification, and thus seeing the e/Specman approach to a given verification challenge can inspire thoughts about how you might to tackle a given problem with other languages/methodologies.  (Seriously: where do you think the OVM SystemVerilog team got the idea for "sequences" -- e/eRM!)

Note:
Our intention is to complement all of the other fine online e language & Specman-related resources, such as:

* The venerable Specman Yahoo group
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/specman/

* The IEEE 1647 Working Group
http://ieee1647.org

* The Cadence Functional Verification forums
/forums/30.aspx

as well as other sites that often touch on e & Specman issues, such as:

JL Gray's "Cool Verification" blog
http://www.coolverification.com

* Avidan Efody's "Specman Verification" site
http://www.specman-verification.com/index.php

* Yaron Ilani's "Think Verification" blog
http://www.thinkverification.com

Finally, please feel free to contact us with any questions you have, and/or topics you would like to see us cover.

Cheers,

Team Specman
