Original article: http://icguy.blogspot.com/2008/05/vmm.html

Just as everyone focused on the rookie OVM and worried about how non-open-source vmm could respond to the challenge, yesterday Synopsys quietly introduced the standard library of the vmm methodology and the source code of the application. Similar to the OVM official website OVM world (http://www.ovmworld.org/), also released a vmm open source site http://www.vmmcentral.org/, vmm can be downloaded in the network.

Synopsys provides the following code:

  --  VMM Standard Library
 --  VMM Register Abstraction Layer application
 --  VMM Reusable Environment Composition application
 --  VMM Memory Allocation Manager application
 --  VMM Hardware Abstraction Layer application
 --  VMM Data Stream Scoreboard application
 --  VMM Macro Library

This is an exciting news! With the importance of verification in icdesign being paid more and more attention, EDA giants are launching new strategies to attract potential customers. From AVM open source to OVM open source to vmm open source, we can see a series of positive initiatives that are constantly pushing forward the industry. Whatever the case, it is good news for customers. What you need is to pause for a moment when you choose which method to use for verification, and take some time to think carefully.

Now that vmm has been used up, OVM should act now! At least, we should also send the OVM User Guide to the supporters for some "new! Pai_^
