Static classes are labeled with the keyword 'unit'. Units are used for creating the permanent testbench structure. A class may contain fields, methods, ports and constraints. Fields can be of type integer, real, enum, string and even complex objects. The code segment shows a unit called 'environment_u' being instantiated within the e root 'sys'.
An HDL simulator — the program that executes the testbench — maintains the simulator clock, which is the master reference for all events in the testbench simulation. Events occur only at the instants dictated by the testbench HDL (such as a reset-toggle coded into the testbench), or in reaction (by the model) to stimulus and triggering events.
In December 2009, a technical subcommittee of Accellera — a standards organization in the electronic design automation (EDA) industry — voted to establish the UVM and decided to base this new standard on the Open Verification Methodology (OVM-2.1.1), [1] a verification methodology developed jointly in 2007 by Cadence Design Systems and Mentor Graphics.
Verilogger Extreme is a newer, compiled-code simulator that is Verilog-2001 compliant and much faster than Pro. Verilog-XL: Cadence Design Systems: V1995: The original Verilog simulator, Gateway Design's Verilog-XL was the first (and only, for a time) Verilog simulator to be qualified for ASIC (validation) sign-off.
Verilog-2001 is a significant upgrade from Verilog-95. First, it adds explicit support for (2's complement) signed nets and variables. Previously, code authors had to perform signed operations using awkward bit-level manipulations (for example, the carry-out bit of a simple 8-bit addition required an explicit description of the Boolean algebra ...

Value change dump (VCD) (also known less commonly as "variable change dump") is an ASCII-based format for dumpfiles generated by EDA logic simulation tools. The standard, four-value VCD format was defined along with the Verilog hardware description language by the IEEE Standard 1364-1995 in 1996.
Analog verification is a methodology for performing functional verification on analog, mixed-signal and RF integrated circuits and systems on chip. [1] Discussion of analog verification began in 2005 when it started to become recognized that the analog portion of large mixed-signal chips had become so complex that a significant and ever-increasing number of these chips were being designed with ...
