    The Verification Academy is organized into a collection of free online courses, focusing on various key aspects of advanced functional verification. Each course 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, 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.

DVCon US 2021 | Functional Debug: Verification and Beyond

In this workshop, we will further discuss the features of functional debug solutions and the benefits they bring throughout the SoC development process.

Primary, Anonymous, or What? The Destiny of Ports from Design Top from Off-Chip

DVCon US 2021 | Primary, Anonymous, or What? The Destiny of Ports from Design Top from Off-Chip

This paper distinctively studies the ‘simulation-impacting’ features of ‘design top’ IOs and the effect of each feature on verification results; this has been accomplished by thoroughly identifying every possible scenario for different design tops, their port types, possible LRM interpretations, presence of design or liberty or UPF attributes, and repercussions at post synthesis simulation.

Bringing Reset and Power Domains Together – Confronting UPF Instrumentation Issues

Bringing Reset and Power Domains Together – Confronting UPF Instrumentation Issues | DVCon US 2021

This paper specifically talks about the issues encountered in Reset Domain Crossing introduced by UPF instrumentation. UPF instrumentation may lead to higher number of new Resets which are not part of the design specification leading to huge verification turnaround time.

A Novel Variation-Aware MSV Methodology to Achieve High-Sigma Variation Coverage

DVCon US 2021 | A Novel Variation-Aware Mixed-Signal Verification Methodology to Achieve High-Sigma Variation Coverage at Nanometer Designs

In this paper we discuss a novel ‘variation aware mixed signal verification’ methodology which addresses this problem and delivers high-sigma variation coverage.

Handling Reset Domain Crossing for Designs with Set-Reset Flops

DVCon US 2021 | Handling Reset Domain Crossing for Designs with Set-Reset Flops

This paper specifically explores the different possible scenarios with such flops and problems introduced by these in the RDC closure. Which potentially can be dangerous and time consuming.

Making Your DPI-C Interface A Fast River Of Data

DVCon US 2021 | Making Your DPI-C Interface A Fast River Of Data

This paper will describe DPI-C usage, including imported calls, exported calls, context calls, input, output and inout arguments, call-by-reference and return values. This will be a good reference for beginners but also containing tips and advanced usage for the current DPI-C user.

The Life of a SystemVerilog Variable

DVCon US 2021 | The Life of a SystemVerilog Variable

This paper presents a background on the different categories of variable lifetimes, what their intended use models are, and how improper usage can be corrected.

Verification Learns a New Language: An IEEE 1800.2 Python Implementation

DVCon US 2021 | Verification Learns a New Language: An IEEE 1800.2 Python Implementation

This session introduces `pyuvm`, a Python implementation of IEEE Spec 1800.2. It discusses the Python tricks used to implement UVM features such as the factory, FIFOs, and config_db.

“Bounded Proof” Sign-Off with Formal Coverage

DVCon US 2021 | “Bounded Proof” Sign-Off with Formal Coverage

In this paper, we will show how “Formal Coverage” methodologies and the resulting data enable engineers to effectively judge the quality of verification that these “bounded proofs” provide.

Applying Big Data to Next-Generation Coverage Analysis and Closure

DVCon US 2021 | Applying Big Data to Next-Generation Coverage Analysis and Closure

This session will establish the need for a next-generation collaborative verification platform, providing enterprise-wide team-based shared coverage analytics and collaborative verification process integration, including lifecycle management integration.

Trends in Functional Verification

DVCon US 2021 | Trends in Functional Verification

Adopting proven solutions to achieve functional correctness has become critical. In this talk Harry will explore today’s functional verification landscape and present the latest industry trends.

Preventing Glitch Nightmares on CDC Paths: The Three Witches

DVCon US 2021 | Preventing Glitch Nightmares on CDC Paths: The Three Witches

In this paper, we first explain the glitch problems in various types of CDC paths. Then, we summarize the automatic formal-based glitch detection methodology [2] that we have deployed for a few years.

Formal Verification Experiences: Spiral Refinement Methodology for Silicon Bug Hunt

DVCon US 2021 | Formal Verification Experiences: Spiral Refinement Methodology for Silicon Bug Hunt

This session will present a "spiral refinement" bug hunt methodology that captures the success factors and guides the deployment of various formal techniques.
