As with all Doulos Golden Reference Guides, the GRG alone is not sufficient to learn the language or methodology, for which formal training classes are recommended (such as the Doulos VMM Adopter Class).

Version 3.1 supporting SystemC v2.2

The SystemC Golden Reference Guide provides a compact, quick reference to the SystemC C++ Class Library as specified by the IEEE 1666™-2006 (the IEEE Standard SystemC® Language Reference Manual, or LRM).

The latest release of the SystemC Golden Reference Guide features all the new features of the IEEE 1666 standard and the OSCI implementation, including the features of the OSCI simulator that support the transition from version 2.1 to 2.2

It includes 4 practical tutorial sessions to help readers understand some basic models in SystemC, before the in-depth alphabetical reference of the language constructs, syntax and features. Perfect for someone with a background in programming languages to familiarise themselves with SystemC, this reference guide will significantly shorten the learning curve. However, the Golden Reference guide alone is not sufficient to learn SystemC, and attendance on a training course, such as Comprehensive SystemC, is recommended.

Supporting SystemVerilog IEEE Standard 1800™-2005

The SystemVerilog GRG is a compact quick reference guide to the SystemVerilog language as defined in the IEEE Standard Verilog Language Reference Manual, IEEE Std 1364-2005 and IEEE Standard for SystemVerilog - Unified Hardware Design, Specification, and Verification Language, IEEE Std 1800-2005. Designed to significantly shorten the time it takes to familiarise the reader with the SystemVerilog language it is not intended as a substitute for SystemVerilog training.

The pre-publication edition of the OVM Golden Reference Guide was previewed at the DAC exhibition in Anaheim June 2008. After much anticipation the new OVM Golden Reference Guide - including OVM 2.0 has been released!

The GRG provides a compact, concise reference to OVM, the Open Verification Methodology for SystemVerilog. The aim is to provide a practical, hands-on reference that complements the official OVM Class Reference. Packed with tips gleaned from Doulos's experience using OVM, the OVM GRG will help you find the information you really need.

As with all Doulos Golden Reference Guides, the GRG alone is not sufficient to learn the language or methodology, for which formal training classes are recommended (such as the Doulos OVM Adopter Class).

This Golden Reference Guides supports the practical use of PSL, and includes an introduction to OVL. Ideal for someone experienced with the hardware design flow and who wants to familiarise themselves with the PSL language, this book builds on the practical expertise to be gained from attending the Assertion-based Verification with PSL training course.

The e Golden Reference Guide is a compact quick reference to the e verification language. It contains everything you need to know for day-to-do use of e, presented in a handy 243 page pocket-sized guide. However, it will be of most use to those who have already attended a training course, such as Comprehensive e, and are actively using e.

Packed with practical advice distilled from years of experience teaching HDL courses, these books are designed for the experienced design engineer. They are not intended as replacements for the official IEEE Language Reference Manuals, and do not offer a complete, formal description of the languages. Rather, they offer answers to the questions most often asked during practical application of the respective languages, in a convenient reference format.
