Two great documents, aiming to make life easier for a verification engineer, were published in the past year. Written by Cadence support specialists with years of experience in problem solving, these documents go over all the aspects in the Specman-Simulator Interfaces domain, present what kind of problems the engineer might get, how to identify them, and how to analyze the problems all the way to possible solutions.
The documents are written in a "cookbook" format, in that you can start from scratch and collect all the ingredients needed to identify and resolve the issue you are facing. The first cookbook deals with synchronization, while the second one touches the architectural aspect.
So grab your apron and start to cook!
