run_test() 验证平台的入口

Run,just run!    ——阿甘正传

 

一个简单的例子：

 1 module tb_top;
 2     dut u_dut ();
 3 
 4     initial begin
 5         run_test();
 6     end
 7 
 8     config_db #()::set();
 9     
10 endmoudle

UVM验证平台从仿真器执行时，开始执行initial中的run_test(); 这时首先去uvm_global.svh中查找run_test();

// Title: Globals

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Group: Simulation Control
//
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Task: run_test
//
// Convenience function for uvm_top.run_test(). See <uvm_root> for more
// information.

task run_test (string test_name="");
  uvm_root top;
  uvm_coreservice_t cs;
  cs = uvm_coreservice_t::get();
  top = cs.get_root();
  top.run_test(test_name);
endtask

全局的run_test() 又调用uvm_root.svh的run_test（）

 11   // just prior to phasing. The test may contain new verification components or
