Editorial Reviews

Product Description
"SystemVerilog for Verification, Second Edition" provides practical information for hardware and software engineers using the SystemVerilog language to verify electronic designs. The author explains methodology concepts for constructing test benches that are modular and reusable. The book includes extensive coverage of the SystemVerilog 3.1a constructs such as classes, program blocks, randomization, assertions, and functional coverage. It also reviews SystemVerilog 3.0 topics such as interfaces and data types. This second edition contains a new chapter that covers programs and interfaces as well as chapters with updated information on directed test bench and OOP, layered, and random test bench for an ATM switch. This edition also includes a new chapter that covers 'Interfacing to C' and many new and improved examples and explanations. For hardware engineers, the book has several chapters with detailed explanations of Object Oriented Programming based on years of teaching OOP to hundreds of students. For software engineers, there is a wealth of information on test benches, multi threaded code, and interfacing to hardware designs. The reader only needs to know the Verilog 1995 standard. 'The complete book that covers verification concepts and use of system verilog in Verification, taking your from an easy start to advanced concepts with ease' - Paul D. Franzon, Alumni Distinguished Professor of ECE, North Carolina State University.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book except for ..., January 15, 2007
By Timothy H. Pylant (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
a few non-compliant code examples that do not follow the IEEE LRM. With that said, overall the book contains a number of good examples and covers the SV language. It doesn't spend much time discussing methodology (which can be good or bad depending on what you're looking for).

In summary, decent reading and a good language reference. Definitely a lot better than the VMM book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction -- 3 and half stars, January 9, 2007
Book is a good introduction to system verilog for verification - though some typographical mistakes and some coding mistakes, make it bit flaky.

I would definately recommend this book - as it is the fastest way to get going around system verilog. One thing I like is that it is tied to any vendor specific methodology like RVM or AVM or VMM.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Examples !, September 8, 2006
By Michael Mintz (Boston, Ma) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a must if you are going to code in SystemVerilog. Chris is very knowledgeable about the language features and great at presenting these features in a very compact way. The examples alone make the book worthwhile.

By way of full disclosure, I was a reviewer for a few chapters of the book.
