Subject: DVClub Acquires New Sponsor | Get Smarter: Upcoming VE Events
To: Connie <

| | DVClub Welcomes New Sponsor: ARM Holdings It's likely you have heard that ARM acquired Obsidian Software.
The announcement came on June 17, 2011. Official Release
But what does it mean for DVClub?
ARM has stepped up and has agreed to continue Obsidian's commitment to sponsor and promote DVClub.
Eric Hennenhoefer, founder and former President/CEO of Obsidian Software, continues his strong commitment to DVClub. In Eric's new role with ARM as Director of Verification Enablement, he will remain involved with planning DVClub content and coordinating DVClub speakers as he has for over five years.
For clarity, DVClub has always been an entity separate from Obsidian Software and remains a separate entity from ARM as well as the other sponsors. This allows DVClub to stay true to its founding mission as a volunteer organization for Design Verification engineers - one of building the verification community by offering networking events, which serve as a platform for education and knowledge exchange without the marketing hype.

Register Now A Two Part Talk on UVM, the Universal Verification Methodology, for Functional Verification
Doug Smith, Engineer/Instructor, Doulos Abstract:
Part One: Easier UVM - Functional Verification for Mainstream Designers
Easier UVM is an approach to using Accellera's UVM, the Universal Verification Methodology, for functional verification by mainstream hardware designers as opposed to power users with verification specialist skills. Easier UVM arises from experience at Doulos in teaching SystemVerilog and functional verification methodology to engineers from a broad cross-section of the hardware design and verification community.
Part Two: UVM Register Abstraction Layer
The UVM Register Abstraction Layer has been generating a lot of industry interest lately. In this phase of the talk, aimed at power users, Doug Smith will cover the necessary templates to develop a UVM environment as well as discuss how to model a register map, an essential part of any verification environment. Silicon Valley - Verification Metrics Double Header

Register Now Using Bug Arrival Rates to Predict the Future
Greg Smith, Sr. Verification Manager at Oracle Abstract:
So much of today's metrics used to gauge the progress of a verification project are backwards looking - telling us what ground we have covered. In addition, many metrics commonly in use are subjective and prone to human errors of omission. I would like to present a different approach to DV project metrics using bug arrivals to actually provide some predictive capability as well as aid in overall project planning.

High Performance Collection of Coverage Metrics Using a Relational Database Backend James Roberts, Sr. Verification Engineer at Oracle Abstract:
A database is an ideal medium for collecting and analyzing coverage. At Oracle, we marry our Oracle database with coverage collection of our verification, and then use SQL to extract coverage metrics on-demand. This presentation outlines an intuitive scheme for database collection of coverage, and presents data showing the scalability and the high bandwidth this scheme is able to handle.
