Just finished packing for a quick trip to Southern California to help kickoff a round of "techtorials" on Coverage-Driven Verification (CDV) this coming week. (Thus, in a real sense I'm going out help see that the goodness of CDV I described in my last post is communicated in a very direct way!) Specifically, in Cadence-speak, a techtorial is a 1/2 and 1/2 mix of seminar-style technical training from an expert on the given topic, a lunch break, then an afternoon of hands-on workshops on Linux laptops loaded with labs on the topic(s) introduced in the morning so you can really get a feel for the material. We hold techtorials on all sorts of topics (analog-mixed signal stuff, assertion-based verification, etc.), and in this case we are focusing on Coverage-Driven Verification (CDV) itself, as well as supporting methodologies like OVM and eRM.
If you are in the area of El Segundo Tuesday (7/22), Irvine on Thursday (7/24), or in the La Jolla area Friday (7/25), by all means sign-up and come by:

(When you reach this intro page, be sure to also click on the PDF icon for the full flyer describing the detailed agenda and lab content.)
If you are *not* in the area: fear not, we will be rolling out similar techtorials in other parts of the USA and around the world in the remainder of the summer and into the fall.
