Academy Courses | Verification Academy

The Verification Academy is organized into a collection of free online courses, which we also refer to as modules, focusing on various key aspects of advanced functional verification. Each course module consists of multiple sessions—allowing the participant to pick and choose specific topics of interest, as well as revisit any specific topics for future reference.

After completing a specific course or module, the participant should be armed with enough knowledge to then understand the necessary steps required for maturing their own organization’s skills and infrastructure on the specific topic of interest. The Verification Academy will provide you with a unique opportunity to develop an understanding of how to mature your organization’s processes so that you can then reap the benefits that advanced functional verification offers.

Sequential Logic Equivalence Checking

In this course, you will be introduced to the concept of sequential logic equivalence checking and its common applications. You will also learn how to start with Questa® SLEC to verify design optimization, bug fix/ECOs, low power clock gating logic, and safety mechanisms.

UVM Basics

UVM Basics should raise a user's level of UVM knowledge to the point where users have sufficient confidence in their own technical understanding that it becomes less of a barrier to adoption.

Advanced UVM

Advanced UVM builds upon the concepts covered in the Basic UVM course to take your UVM understanding to the next level.

Introduction to ISO 26262

The purpose of this course is to provide engineers and managers with a basic understanding of the key concepts of ISO 26262. This includes information on the scope of the standard, how the standard addresses the broader automotive supply chain, and key requirements defined at each phase of the product lifecycle.

Portable Stimulus Basics

This course will provide an introduction to the new Portable Test and Stimulus Standard, starting with a discussion of the need for and goals of the standard, taking the viewer through the actual standard itself to provide an understanding of how to create your own specification of Portable Stimulus and then showing how a tool can generate UVM, C or other implementations of the test for your required platform.

Introduction to DO-254

DO-254 has been around for over 15 years and has been applied almost exclusively in the commercial Aerospace industry. Because it has been focused in a subset of the electronic hardware market, many engineers and companies have little to no knowledge of DO-254.

UVM Framework - One Bite at a Time

UVM Framework Course | Subject Matter Expert - Bob Oden | Universal Verification Methodology Topic

In this course you will learn more about UVM Framework and how it that provides a reusable UVM methodology and code generator for rapid testbench generation.

Handling Inconclusive Assertions in Formal Verification

In this course, you will be introduced to techniques to help formal tools solve inconclusive assertions. You will also learn tool options to help convergence, introduce techniques for reducing assertion and design complexity.

Formal Coverage

Formal coverage is a hot topic these days. Simulation has a number of metrics for helping determine when verification is done. These include code coverage, assertions coverage, transaction coverage, and functional coverage to name a few.

UVM Debug

In this course, we examine common UVM debug issues, and provide a systematic set of recommendations to effectively address them.

SystemVerilog OOP for UVM Verification

The SystemVerilog OOP for UVM Verification course is aimed at introducing the OOP features in SystemVerilog most commonly used by the UVM in the simplest form.

An Introduction to Unit Testing with SVUnit

Introduction to Unit Testing with SVUnit Course | Subject Matter Expert - Neil Johnson, XtremeEDA | Simulation-Based Techniques Topic

SVUnit is an open-source test framework for ASIC and FPGA developers writing Verilog/SystemVerilog code. SVUnit is the only SystemVerilog test framework suited for both design and verification engineers.

Power Aware CDC Verification

In this course, you will learn the low power CDC methodology by discussing the low power CDC challenges, describing the UPF-related power logic structures relevant to CDC analysis, and explaining a low power CDC verification methodology.

Getting Started with Formal-Based Technology

This course introduces basic concepts and terminology that should be useful by any engineer wishing to mature their formal-based technology skills.

Formal Assertion-Based Verification

In this course the instructors will show how to get started with direct property checking.

Formal-Based Technology: Automatic Formal Solutions

After a brief introductory session outlining the general architecture of formal apps, in each subsequent session of the course will deep dive on a specific verification challenge and the corresponding formal application.

Introduction to the UVM

The Introduction to the UVM course consists of twelve sessions that will guide you from rudimentary SystemVerilog through a complete UVM testbench.

Assertion-Based Verification

This course introduces a set of steps for advancing an organization’s assertion-based-verification (ABV) skills, infrastructure, and metrics.

Power Aware Verification

This course introduces the IEEE Std 1801 Unified Power Format (UPF) for specification of active power management architectures and covers the use of UPF in simulation-based power aware verification.

VHDL-2008 Why It Matters

VHDL-2008 matters because it facilitates advanced verification, adds reusable data structures, simplifies RTL coding and adds fixed and floating point math packages.

Improve AMS Verification Quality

Improve AMS Verfiication Quality Course | Subject Matter Expert - Ahmed Eisawy | Design and Verification Languages Topic

This course will introduce some methodologies available in AMS design environments that could help quantify the quality of the AMS verification process.

AMS Design Configuration Schemes

This course will introduce the various techniques available in AMS design environment to help understand how to efficiently utilize them.

Metrics in SoC Verification

This course identifies a range of metrics across multiple aspects of today’s SoC functional verification process.

UVM Connect

UVM Connect will demonstrate how to reuse your SystemC architectural models and/or reuse SystemVerilog UVM agents to verify models in SystemC.

Testbench Co-Emulation: SystemC & TLM-2.0

Acceleration of SystemC and TLM-2.0 Testbenches with Co-Emulation Course | Subject Matter Expert - John Stickley | Acceleration Topic

This course advocates that functional verification through modern SystemC testbenches paired with co-emulation enables further verification productivity improvements.

Verification Planning and Management

This course will define terms, logically divide up the verification effort, and lay the foundation for actual verification planning and management on a real project.

Evolving FPGA Verification Capabilities

This course introduces techniques for addressing complexity by evolving your organization’s FPGA verification process capabilities.

Clock-Domain Crossing Verification

This course introduces a set of steps for advancing an organization’s clock-domain crossing (CDC) verification skills, infrastructure, and metrics.
