SystemVerilog
Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Environmental)
A hardware description and verification language (HDL/HVL) used primarily by electronics and semiconductor engineers to design and verify digital circuits and chips, extending the older Verilog language with object-oriented programming features, assertions, and advanced testbench capabilities. It's an IEEE standard (1800) widely used in the chip design industry alongside tools from vendors like Cadence, Synopsys, and Mentor Graphics (Siemens EDA). Engineers use it both for RTL (register-transfer level) design and for building sophisticated verification environments like UVM (Universal Verification Methodology).
