Chipright, CreVinn, Verilab Adopt VMM Verification Methodology
Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS), a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design and manufacturing, announced that Chipright, CreVinn and Verilab, three leading European chip design and verification consulting companies, have standardized on the proven VMM verification methodology to streamline verification and speed time-to-market for their customers. The VMM methodology, originally defined in the Verification Methodology Manual for SystemVerilog, allows consulting firms to quickly deploy modular, scalable and reusable verification environments while enabling them to access the growing installed base of VMM users and availability of VMM-enabled verification components. This, in turn, accelerates their delivery of SystemVerilog-based verification services for the most complex chip designs. The VMM base class library and application source code are available for free download.
