🎓 Course Title: VSD - Embedded-UVM: Mastering OpenSource Verification and Emulation

👩‍🏫 Instructor: Kunal Ghosh
🗣 Headline: Dive into the Future of Chip Verification with Embedded-UVM! 🚀

Course Description:

Are you ready to navigate the evolving landscape of chip verification? In the past decade, the industry has hit a plateau in processor frequency, with a stagnation at 4GHz. As we transition to multi-core processors, the challenges in simulation and verification have intensified. The "death" of Moore's law has made it imperative to innovate beyond traditional Verilog and verification platforms. This is where Embedded-UVM shines!

🚀 Why Embedded-UVM?

• Open Source Revolution: Embrace the power of open-source tools to tackle today's verification challenges.
• Beyond Moore’s Law: Learn how to handle the limitations imposed by stabilizing processor frequencies and increasing chip sizes.
• Multi-Core Mastery: Gain insights into running simulations on larger chips without breaking a sweat, thanks to multi-core processors.

🔍 Understanding the Complexities
As simulation speeds are pushed to their limits, it's crucial to understand the distinction between RTL and test-bench environments. The RTL, which can be synthesized and partitioned for multi-core execution, differs significantly from the behavioral nature of test-benches, which cannot be partitioned in the same way. This course will guide you through these complexities and help you leverage the best of both worlds for effective verification.
