Advanced UVM

Get advanced UVM training from verification specialists with this interactive workshop-style class.

This three-day workshop is designed for UVM users who want to take their skills to the next level and address testbench issues.

Putting together real world testbenches requires more than just knowing the components of the UVM library. Real world testbenches have issues that require knowing how to apply the UVM library to solve these issues. Issues such as multiple interfaces to the DUT, layering stimulus, concurrent process synchronization, dealing with behaviors such as interrupts, reset and multiple response types, and building scalable, reusable testbenches are addressed.

In this Advanced UVM class, you will gain experience in dealing with these and other testbench challenges. The class works through various testbench issues and challenges providing solutions. You will be able to apply these solutions to your testbench. You will also take away from this class detailed real world example testbenches that illustrate solutions to issues providing a great reference in doing your testbench. A good deal of this class is spent in interactive discussion, “whiteboarding,” and applying the topics to the student’s application.

Having worked in the past with independent electronic design consultants, we appreciate Hardent’s quality, team work and timely service. The company has excellent project management skills, open communication, constant follow-up and a flexible approach. We have been working with Hardent for about two years now. Though initially I was not excited about outsourcing R&D, I feel that I can 100% count on Hardent, as they know their business well and they directed us toward good technical decisions.
