NoC-UVM-Testbench

Introduction

This repository includes a UVM testbench for the NoC component in OpenPiton. OpenPiton GitHub Repository

This is the UVM testbench used in our paper NoCFuzzer. It provides a detailed introduction to the NoC UVM testbench and introduce the development of the fuzzing framework based on this UVM testbench. If this testbench is helpful for your research, you can cite the following papers:

Router Testbench

Located in /router_uvm

The Makefile is the running script for the VCS simulator.

Mesh Testbench

Located in /mesh_uvm

The script in tool/generate.sh first generates the mesh design with size M*N and the corresponding UVM testbench. Run the UVM testbench using the Makefile with the VCS simulator.
