Open Verification Methodology - OVM

archive
archive over 18 years ago

Hi everyone,

Most people have probably seen the announcement that came out this week on the new, open-source, Open Verification Methodology (OVM) sponsored by both Cadence and Mentor. You can check out  the press release for more information. There is also an EETimes article on OVM that is worth reading.

Discussion is already brewing on OVM so here is your chance to take the podium:

- OVM: Hot or hype?
- What challenges that you are currently facing will be facilitated by an open verification methodology?
- Will OVM be a catalyst for the adoption of SystemVerilog? Why [not]?
- What are you hoping to see become part of OVM?

Let's hear it!

-Stelix.

    I agree with Ajeetha that we should have some detailed document regarding OVM.

    Other verification methodologies such as AVM and VMM are available as downloadable content which makes it to be accessible to most of the verification engineers.

    We should have such a stuff for OVM so that we have valuable feedback on this methodology
    from vast pool of engineers.


    The plan is to provide detailed documentation and examples for OVM when it is released as open source at the end of Q4 this year.  In the meantime, you can access the URM documentation/examples that are available to all Cadence users within the Incisive Plan to Closure Methodology.  From a methodology perspective, OVM is based on URM and will be backward compatible.  Thus if you want to understand more about OVM methodology, URM will show you all you want to know.
