    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.

Acceleration

Acceleration

Acceleration are techniques that are used to address performance shortcomings of traditional simulation. For example, the design model (i.e., DUT) can be mapped into a hardware accelerator and run much faster during verification, while the testbench continues to run in simulation on a workstation. In this section of the Verification Academy, we focus on building verification acceleration skills.

Acceleration Courses

Testbench Co-Emulation: SystemC & TLM-2.0

Acceleration of SystemC and TLM-2.0 Testbenches with Co-Emulation Course | Subject Matter Expert - John Stickley | Acceleration Topic

This course advocates that functional verification through modern SystemC testbenches paired with co-emulation enables further verification productivity improvements.

SystemVerilog Testbench Acceleration

SystemVerilog Testbenches Acceleration | Subject Matter Expert - Hans van der Schoot | Acceleration Topic

This course will give you the confidence required to start the process of investigating and creating a single testbench environment for both simulation and hardware-assisted acceleration.
