The newest version of UVM is coming soon from the IEEE. This new version will be based on UVM1.2, but there will be some changes. This session will discuss in detail what these changes are and discuss how they'll impact current UVM users, also fill you in on the latest happenings in the UVM committee. To help get you up and running in UVM more quickly, we'll also introduce the UVM Framework, which will dramatically shorten the time it takes to create your UVM environment and incorporate Mentor Verification IP to support a wide variety of standard protocols into your testbench.
