Hello Ahan

I review the documentation which describe the “interoperable”:
1.Ensure VIP interoperability ecosystem and simulator
2.Enable VIP plug and play reuse.
3.Ensure interoperability with languages
…Who know the detail meaning above or could you share some background of that?
Thank you!

1 means that a verification environment you have designed and that is running in a Mentor Graphics flow will also run in a Cadence flow. More generally, you environment will run in any IEEE-1800 compilant simulator.

2 is in some way the same as above. It means that a VIP you designed for a project A can be re-used in a project B, in a plug-and-play manner, i.e. with almost 0 work to do.

3 means that in a OVM verification environment you will be able to use other language VIP, such as eVC for example.
