Subject: Keep Cadence Specman "e" or onto Synopsys System Verilog VCS NTB?
Hi, John,
Keep me anon, please.
New projects are coming up. Our verification people are trying to decide
between Cadence Specman "e" vs. Synopsys System Verilog + Vera (VCS NTB).
Q 1.) Which functional verification language would you choose
(and why) for your NEW projects?
Q 2.) Should we migrate our legacy Specman "e" over to SV? Is it
worth the expense?
Our old timers know Specman "e" quite well. They know its tricks. Our
younger engineers think "e" is dying; that System Verilog is the future.
Both agree this is a Cadence vs. Synopsys proxy battle because VCS NTB is
just as proprietary to Synopsys as Specman "e" is to Cadence; the false
so-called "open standards" arguments for both don't sway us towards either.
