How to decide number of agents?

UVM
1

Hi,

1.How to decide number of agents required in the environment?
2.If I have four output ports, same protocol for four output ports, data at the output can arrive simultaneously, need to send this data to scoreboard then when I do,
foreach(m_receiver[i]) begin
m_receiver[i].rcvr2sb_ap.connect(m_scoreboard.rcvr2sb_export);
end
doesn’t that essentially connect four receiver analysis ports to single export in scoreboard? Then how do we extract and store data at the scoreboard? How do I decide if I need four agents or not?

I need to know how many UVM active/Passive agents are required

In reply to mann_verif:

The number of agents depends on the number of independent functional interfaces you have in your design and not on the number of ports.

You have to invetsigate the pinlevel interfaces of your DUT. All independent interfaces need a seperate agent. This does not say anything about active/passive or master/slave.
If your DUT behaves as slave your interface is a master interface. If you have an interface which issues only data (maybe depending on register configurations) you need a passive interface only.
