Accellera, the electronics industry organization focused on the creation and adoption of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) standards and Intellectual Property (IP) standards, approved version 1.0 of its Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) standard. Although Dennis Brophy, Vice-Chair of Accellera pointed out that the UVM standard was approved on my birthday, I am fully disclosing that I had nothing to do with either the development or the approval of the document. I was very happy, though, to celebrate the official release of UVM at my birthday dinner.

The two most important developers of design and verification standards, Accellera and OSCI will hold a joint luncheon on Monday February 28 during DVCon. The topic of the event will be the newly developed Unified Verification Methodology (UVM).
A daylong tutorial about UVM will also take place on Monday at DVCon, as well as a tutorial on Transaction Level Modeling (TLM). For a detailed agenda of the technical content, please click here. To register for this event and the luncheon and Town Hall session please click here.

The Electronic Design Processes Symposium (EDPS) provides a forum for a cross-section of the design community to discuss state-of-the-art electronic design processes and CAD methodologies. The workshop focuses on the improvement of the overall design process, rather than on the functions of the individual tools themselves.
