April 1, 2011 -- Many of you are probably wondering what's happening with Accellera's Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) effort, which debuted its Early Adopter (EA) release in May of last year. We're very close to a release that's currently set for the first part of this year. The most significant aspect of this release is that it includes all of the major features requested by the verification community. Among them are two new features built by the committee: a command-line interface and resource manager. We also fully qualified the EA features and dispensed with almost all of the bugs and enhancement requests.
The UVM 1.0 release includes a new phasing mechanism and register package. It also supports the Open SystemC Initiative's (OSCI's) Transaction Level Modeling- 2.0 (TLM-2.0) standard. It includes a command-line interface as well as an upgrade to its configuration mechanism (or resource manager) to make it more general. Added features include callbacks, message catching, and functionality in the objection mechanism for managing end of test.
