SystemVerilog Training

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:

Doulos CTO, John Aynsley answers the question by explaining Doulos' SystemVerilog training portfolio, how to choose the right course, and the pitfalls to avoid.

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 is uniquely qualified to give you the complete view of SystemVerilog's capabilities in any tool context. Doulos SystemVerilog training encapsulates:
  1. comprehensive expertise
    full scope training and project support
  2. corporate independence
    broad tool & methodology support, plus unbiased tuition
  3. 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.

Unbiased tuition using your chosen tool and methodology. Because we're comercially independent and don't have a vested interest in selling you a particular product, Doulos is the ideal language and methodology training partner. Big decisions demand an independent perspective.

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 UVMOVM or VMM (which are covered in our UVM, OVM and VMM Adopter classes). More >>

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.

This class provides a quick-start, practical introduction to the respective approaches to SystemVerilog's universal verification methodology. It's presented as a 3 day class giving hands-on experience, or as 1-day overview to introduce the key ideas and benefits. It's 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.

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. More >>

Doulos Project Services is a powerful resource giving your company rapid access to expertise for direct use on project issues. A wide range of packages exist to assist you through all stages of methodology and language decision making, integration and design use. All our packages can be provided with the flexibility to provide support exactly when required, maximising the benefit to cost ratio.
