Oct 10, 2024 The Development and Evolution of Verilog & SystemVerilog (EU)

Time: 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM (CEST)

 

Abstract

SystemVerilog is a super next-generation Verilog with a fancy marketing name. SystemVerilog leveraged many of its features from other languages and methodologies. Class-based capabilities, constrained random testing (CRT), and functional coverage were all features that were added to SystemVerilog and incorporated into the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM). UVM has become the most dominant and powerful verification methodology used to verify designs by engineers today.

 

Cliff Cummings has been a member of the Verilog & SystemVerilog Standards Groups since 1994 and will offer his unique and historical perspective on how features were added to SystemVerilog, why the features were added, and the origins of many of those features.
