Chapter 11 – Running the simulation

To run thesimulation, we simply execute the provided Makefile in the GitHub repository:

$ make -f Makefile.vcs

The testbenchwill generate random inputs and then those inputs will be sent to the DUT. Themonitors will capture the data in the communication bus and make a predictionof the expected result. Finally the scoreboard will evaluate the functionalityby matching the DUT’s response with the prediction made by one of the monitors.If the DUT and the prediction match, an “OK” message will be outputted,otherwise, we will se a “Fail” message.

So, in theoutput of the simulation, we must find for the messages starting with UVM_INFObecausethe compare() method from the scoreboard is going to print amessage using the macro`uvm_info() with the result of the test.

The result ofthe simulation can be seen below:
