2.11 phase - basic
前言
本文以uvm-1.2/examples/simple//phases/basic为例，通过代码了解UVM中机制phases的分类和用法。通过这个例子可以基本了解以下知识点：
- phase的类型和分类
- phase的运行机制
一、基本介绍
UVM中全部的phase如下图所示，按照图中的顺序自上而下自动执行，通过phase来控制仿真的执行顺序。黄色部分是function_phase，这类phase不消耗仿真时间；绿色部分是task_phase，这类phase消耗仿真时间。添加这么多的phase，是为了对仿真更精细化的控制，而且也让环境更加灵活。
build_phase的执行顺序是自上而下，即先执行UVM树状结构根节点的build_phase，再一层一层的往叶子端去执行build_phase。这是因为，在build_phase中主要执行的是实例化工作。例如：driver和monitor都是agent的成员，在agent的build_phase中实例化driver和monitor，但是如果在执行agent的build_phase之前去执行driver的build_phase，就会报错，因为此时driver都还没例化。
除了build_phase之外的其他不消耗仿真时间的function_phase，执行顺序都是自下而上。例如：先执行driver和monitor的connect_phase，再执行agent的connect_phase。
二、代码分析
这个测试用例比较简单，只有一个test.sv文件，创建的UVM树形结构如下所示。
// top
// __________________|_______________
// | |
// a1(AA) a2(AA)
// | | | |
// u1(A) u2(A) u1(A) u2(A)
// | | | | | | | |
// b1(B) d1(D) b1(B) d1(D) b1(B) d1(D) b1(B) d1(D)

通过仿真结果可以看到：
首先，打印了top的build_phase，build_phase的执行顺序是自顶向下，当所有的build_phase执行完了，才进入下一个phase。
其次，除开build_phase之外，其他的phase的执行顺序都是自底向上，最后打印top的phase。
最后，可以发现，除去run_phase消耗了时间外，其他的phase都不消耗仿真执行的时间。
总结
总的来说，这个例子比较简单，但是通过这个例子，可以比较直观的看到UVM中，phase的类型和执行顺序。
