XtremeEDA registers under Canada's CGP

OTTAWA, Canada, 7 February 2007 - XtremeEDA is now registered with Canada's Controlled Goods Program (CGP).

The CGP program is managed under the Canada Defense Production Act and is recognized by other nations under ITAR regulations. This registration allows XtremeEDA to work on ITAR controlled goods and technology. From time-to-time, clients may need a services provider to work on ITAR related technology. XtremeEDA is now ready to help you in that regard.


XtremeEDA presents “VMM For Dummies” at SNUG San Jose April 2007

OTTAWA, Canada, 6 February 2007 - XtremeEDA today announced they will be presenting a tutorial, entitled VMM For Dummies authored by Amre Sultan and Dr Hans van der Schoot, at the upcoming SNUG San Jose conference, to be held April 2-4 in Santa Clara, CA.

The tutorial illustrates how to develop a VMM-based verification environment with the most commonly used VMM components. Drawing from real project experiences applying the various VMM principles, it walks through the construction of a complete VMM-based testbench for a Rock-Paper-Scissors game, addressing the following questions.

  • What are a transaction and a transactor?
  • What is a VMM channel?
  • What does a VMM-based environment look like?
  • What is the built-in run flow?
  • How do I implement functional coverage and customize stimulus?

By attending the tutorial verification engineers will be well equipped to hit the ground running on their next VMM-based verification project.

The same authors, as well as another of our Principal Engineers - Dr. Pierre Girodias, are also presenting a paper called Stepping-Up to Scenarios in VMM. The paper illustrates the use of transaction scenarios in VMM for the generation of complex stimulus in a constrained random verification environment. Using a simple riddle as an example, typical design verification issues related to stimulus generation are identified and practical solutions are suggested.
