    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.

New Course: Power Aware Verification

Please join Subject Matter Experts; Erich Marschner and Chuck Seeley for the latest addition to the Verification Academy video course library, Power Aware Verification.

Sessions include:

  • Introduction to Power Aware Verification

    • This session introduces the need for active power management, the concepts and structures involved in the power management architecture for a system, and the IEEE Std 1801 Unified Power Format (UPF) for specifying, verifying, and implementing active power management.

  • Overview of UPF

    • This session gives a quick, high-level overview of the evolution of the UPF standard, the capabilities of UPF, and the portions of UPF that are covered in this course.

  • Getting Started with UPF

    • This session presents the core commands and options in the UPF 1.0 subset of IEEE Std 1801 UPF.

  • A Simple UPF Example

    • This session presents an extended example illustrating the usage of the UPF 1.0 subset of IEEE Std 1801 UPF for specification of the power management architecture for a simple design.

  • UPF 2.0 Enhancements

    • This session presents UPF 2.0 commands and options that improve usability and provide greater flexibility in specifying the power management architecture for a given design.

  • Using Supply Sets

    • This session presents the UPF 2.0 concept of a "supply set" and the related commands and options used for defining and using supply sets.

  • An Enhanced UPF Example

    • This session presents an extended example illustrating the usage of the UPF 2.0 features of IEEE Std 1801 UPF for specification of the power management architecture for a simple design.
