As vice chair of DVCon 2014, I can share with you that the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) remains a topic of great interest.  It sets the pace for tutorials and given the pending release by Accellera, learning what is new in UVM 1.2 is a compelling reason to attend DVCon.

The Accellera Day tutorial series on Monday at DVCon is popular with UVM being a session of great interest.  Aside from the “verification crisis” driving the need to explore this industry standard, the first major update is also a reason to generate this interest.  The UVM tutorial is meant for the novice and expert alike.  UVM experts can expect to walk away with more information on the new UVM 1.2 features and how they might plan to deploy them.

Naturally, I suggest you consider registering for the conference to attend this tutorial.  (There are still a few seats left; but you will need to hurry!)
