Tom Alsop and the team at Accellera are elated: The UVM standard has been accepted by the IEEE as 1800.2 and congratulations are certainly in order.
The effort has consumed upwards of 10 years, and represents thousands of man-hours of effort, consultation, compromise, consensus building, rinse and repeat. Over and over until the final product was polished, presented and approved by the IEEE. Not an easy process by anybody’s estimation.
When we spoke by phone this week about the Accellera announcement, I asked Tom Alsop [Principal Engineer at Intel] how difficult the whole thing had actually been.
He chuckled slightly: “For us, it was fairly difficult.”
