UVM-SystemC Availalability

[moogyd]

Hi,

I am aware that there is a proposed LRM and proof of concept implementation of UVM-SystemC.

However, I cannot find any downloads on Accelera website - is it only available to Accelera Members, or am I missing something?

 

Thanks,

Steven

Indeed, UVM in SystemC is only available for Accellera members at this stage, because the API is still under review. The SystemC Verification Working Group will define when the associated proof-of-concept implementation becomes available for the public.

Hi Martin,

The obvious next question - is there any rough timeframe for review and release?

Is it likely to be weeks or months or years?

Thanks,

Steven

Hi Martin,

This is quite interesting as I am sure a free UVM implementation is not something the Vendors (paying Accellera members) are looking forward to.

Interesting project,

@Steven: I expect it will be a matter of months to have the first (draft) material available. But again, it is the working group that decides on the schedule. Not sure if this will be LRM or proof-of-concept or both.

 

@Hans: UVM-SystemC is being developed and tested by end-user companies and system houses (of which only some are member in Accellera). Accellera supports the development of a multi-language verification standard, simply because UVM is available in different language flavors. UVM in SystemC/C++ is just one of them.
