SystemVerilog is the first industry-standard language covering the requirements of both design and verification. It provides the benefits of broad capability in all areas of design and verification, with the advantage of a widely supported IEEE standard spanning project generations.
In line with the demands for finely tuned training programs for application to both design and verification contexts, Doulos has created an enhanced portfolio:
- Intensive SystemVerilog & UVM »
Accelerated program for verification teams delivered in an intensive productive format.
- ENHANCED UVM Adopter Class »
Providing 4 days of in-depth content to ensure most complete ready-to-go preparation for real-life UVM projects.
- SystemVerilog Primer Class
Flexible access to foundational knowledge for SystemVerilog application.
- Comprehensive SystemVerilog »
Updated with current best practice - now scheduled globally in 10 locations covering North America, Europe and India
Background to SystemVerilog
It's a massive language that breaks down into three separate blocks; the design language, assertions, and the testbench language. Initially take-up was slow. The user community was presented with methodologies tuned to the strengths of specific tools, which in turn lacked commonality of feature support. Unwilling to be boxed in by a design solution with such divergent support, many users were cautious about a full scale migration to SystemVerilog, and chose to await broader support and more convergent methodologies within the industry.
That time has arrived...
Doulos SystemVerilog credentials
- comprehensive expertise
full scope training and project support
- corporate independence
broad tool & methodology support, plus unbiased tuition
- co-operative long-standing relationships with the key vendors
up-to-date knowledge and complete client support packages
Not only have we been delivering SystemVerilog training and project support since the early days of the language (2004), we've worked with the verification methodology groups in Cadence, Mentor Graphics and Synopsys throughout SystemVerilog's evolution. Our SystemVerilog expertise is authoritative. Based on a deep understanding of the language, the methodologies, and what it takes to get SystemVerilog out of the box and applied to real-world projects, Doulos is expert in developing and customizing effective SystemVerilog training.
These are just some of the companies our in-house SystemVerilog expertise has helped to get SystemVerilog out of the box.

Comprehensive SystemVerilog
This is a one-stop solution addressing the needs of both design and verification groups. It includes objective and up-to-date commentary on the three best-known published verification methodology approaches, and teaches key SystemVerilog language features that support them.
The key to its success (and that of our clients' subsequent SystemVerilog-based designs) is our careful handling of what many consider a difficult topic, class-based SystemVerilog verification. This is a critical part of the SystemVerilog learning path. If it isn't taught well, engineers will take much longer to put what they've learned into practice, and find SystemVerilog much harder than it actually is. Doulos has leveraged years of experience in teaching object-oriented verification concepts to make these challenging topics easier to learn for engineers from a wide variety of backgrounds. This makes the Doulos class the ideal preparation for subsequent adoption of a sophisticated verification methodology such as UVM, OVM or VMM (which are covered in our UVM, OVM and VMM Adopter classes).

SystemVerilog for Verification Specialists
The difference between Comprehensive SystemVerilog and SystemVerilog for Verification Specialists is that Comprehensive SystemVerilog includes an extra day of material near the front end of the course on the general programming language features of SystemVerilog and features used for hardware design, whereas SystemVerilog for Verification Specialists focusses exclusively on verification. Comprehensive SystemVerilog is more suited to engineers with an HDL background, whereas SystemVerilog for Verification Specialists is more suited to engineers who already have a good grasp of a language such as C++, e, or Vera.

UVM / OVM / VMM Adopter Classes
These classes provide a quick-start, practical introduction to the respective approaches to SystemVerilog verification methodology. They can be presented as a 2-3 day class giving hands-on experience of the chosen methodology, or as a ½ to 1-day overview to introduce the key ideas and benefits. They are designed for use within the context of Doulos team-based SystemVerilog verification training (see Modular SystemVerilog below) but can also be used stand-alone, and packaged with flexible project support options. Supplemental tool training with specific tools can also be provided in co-operation with the leading vendors. Use the links below to find out more about how Doulos can assist you with UVM, OVM or VMM adoption.

Modular SystemVerilog
- Unique team-training packages for each unique team -
Nearly 20 years experience of migrating whole teams and organisations to new methods has taught Doulos that the best outcomes are experienced when training programs are carefully tuned to the client's context. Off-the-shelf training is rarely sufficient.
Significant factors include the training objectives, the customer's tool flow, the application domain, the extent of the methodology migration required and the pre-existing know-how across the customer team.
Doulos addresses all in-house and team-based training as a potentially unique training program - no assumption is made as to the scope, duration and content of the training required. Instead, a Doulos SystemVerilog expert draws up a specific training program and proposal based on a direct interaction with a client's technical lead, and the Modular SystemVerilog syllabus and materials.

Synthesis-Friendly SystemVerilog
Although SystemVerilog is perhaps most widely used in the context of hardware verification, it also contains many features directly relevant to the hardware designer. We explore the features of SystemVerilog that are useful for RTL synthesis, showing how the RTL SystemVerilog language constructs have been optimized for productivity and reliability.
