Many of you already received communications about the move of the Cadence user community into cadence.com. And many of you have already joined, with over 4000 registrations in the first two weeks.

The new Cadence Community enhances the ability of Cadence users to connect and collaborate. In addition to moving the community into cadence.com -- enabling single sign-on for community, Sourcelink and Cadence events -- the new site is organized around nine technology segments, giving you easy access to product information, training, forums and blogs. Some of the new features include:
  • Ability to respond to posts via e-mail
  • Technology-specific blogs
  • Latest Web 2.0 social networking capabilities
  • Public profile options
  • Private messaging
  • Friends lists
Visit the new Cadence Community today at www.cadence.com/community and join the discussions!

Registration note: Due to the scope of the enhancements and the new SSO registration system, we were not able to migrate existing cdnusers.org member accounts. So new registrations are required, but this enables a broader set of functionality we think you'll enjoy.

Forum note: Under the guidance of forum moderators, we have taken the 20+ cdnusers.org forums and consolidated them into 11 forums on the new site. Posts have been brought over so you can leverage that posting history. CDNusers forums will be set to read only starting 7/30, and cdnusers.org will be redirected to the new community on 8/4.

Best regards,
Mike and Tom

Hi everyone,

Most people have probably seen the announcement that came out this week on the new, open-source, Open Verification Methodology (OVM) sponsored by both Cadence and Mentor. You can check out  the press release for more information. There is also an EETimes article on OVM that is worth reading.

Discussion is already brewing on OVM so here is your chance to take the podium:

- OVM: Hot or hype?
- What challenges that you are currently facing will be facilitated by an open verification methodology?
- Will OVM be a catalyst for the adoption of SystemVerilog? Why [not]?
- What are you hoping to see become part of OVM?

Let's hear it!

BTW, make sure to also check the mirror discussion on OVM in the SystemVerilog forum: http://www.cdnusers.org/Forums/tabid/52/forumid/66/postid/5127/view/topic/Default.aspx

I would like to see the OVM first before commenting or trying to answer these. Till the time we see a downloadable stuff such as AVM or a published text such as VMM it is pretty hard to comment. One thing for sure I hope is that it will run on all 3 major tools. IMHO so far the existing methodologies have not done too well on true interoperability front.  Especially given that CDN is also on the bandwagon now, we would hope to see truly interoperable testbenches.

If there is any industry consortium of sorts to drive towards it, I would be glad to participate from CVC side.

Thanks
Ajeetha, CVC

I agree with Ajeetha that we should have some detailed document regarding OVM.

Other verification methodologies such as AVM and VMM are available as downloadable content which makes it to be accessible to most of the verification engineers.

We should have such a stuff for OVM so that we have valuable feedback on this methodology
from vast pool of engineers.

The plan is to provide detailed documentation and examples for OVM when it is released as open source at the end of Q4 this year.  In the meantime, you can access the URM documentation/examples that are available to all Cadence users within the Incisive Plan to Closure Methodology.  From a methodology perspective, OVM is based on URM and will be backward compatible.  Thus if you want to understand more about OVM methodology, URM will show you all you want to know.
