Doulos are delighted to be exhibiting and providing direct learning opportunities at the 48th Design Automation Conference running June 5 through 9 in San Diego.

As the momentum across the industry is rising with the migration to  the first Universal Verification Methodology (UVM), Doulos will be highlighting and presenting a workshop on Easier UVM, a progressive way to engage with UVM for mainstream designers.

The very latest in the Golden Reference Guide series, the UVM Golden Reference Guide will also be published for the first time. There will be opportunities at the show to obtain the first copies on a complimentary basis.

Doulos will also be show-casing their new range of Embedded Software training classes including C++ and Linux training as well as all their broad base of technical training programs.

There will also be opportunities for one-on-one consultations at Booth #3012 with Doulos industry experts John Aynsley and Doug Smith for managers reviewing their engineering team's technology and methodology capability.

"DVCon attendance is up on the last few years.The buzz this year is around UVM, with the first full release of the Accellera standard occuring within hours of the start of the conference.

The full-day UVM workshop was very well attended, as was the SystemC Day, which ran in parallel on Monday. SystemVerilog is now firmly established as the industry standard language for hardware verification.

TLM-2.0 also featured heavily during Monday's workshops, both as a feature of the new UVM standard, and in its own right in the context of the software-driven verification using virtual platforms."
John Aynsley - March 2nd, 2011.
