What is the advantage of UVM over systemverilog?
Companies Related Questions, Functional Verification, System Verilog, UVM 0 CommentsUVM is built on system verilog , so what ever UVM is doing underlying coding is SV
So in general , lets take broader view with respect to ther language
if you have heard of JAVA , and Hibernate
Hibernate : is a framework built on java helps in managing data base beautifully , if you have to change your data base from sql to oracle .. or anything, one place change will change you data base setup..
So UVM is something similar , it is framework , set of SV files, package.
Helps to solve many issue
so now SV is used to for design and verification
There were some problem in SV ,
Like
Re usability was less in SV , how can you re use your code frequently
can you have better synchronization mechanism for different state , like build , run ..
can you override you dv class dynamically
if you have to copy , compare ../ from class to other , you have to write the copy function ,compare .. can some one take care of these problem
can we have better communication between two file for sending messages
can we have Independency on Test case writer and testbench writer ??
People were using their in house methodology like OVM/VMM .././ to resolve such issues
but how could it common stuff to resolve such issue , then they came came with UVM
Yes UVM solve such issues
