D Programming Language

Concept

The D Programming Language (Dlang) is described in the evidence as the implementation language for eUVM, an open-source multicore-enabled Universal Verification Methodology implementation. In that context, D provides garbage collection, C/C++ ABI interoperability, metaprogramming facilities, formatting APIs, slice-copy behavior, dynamic arrays, and concurrency-related semantics used by eUVM and the RISCV-DV port.

D Programming Language

Overview

The D Programming Language (Dlang) is presented in the evidence primarily through its role as the implementation language for eUVM, an open-source, multicore-enabled implementation of Universal Verification Methodology (UVM). The cited DVCon paper states that eUVM is coded in D and that eUVM inherits an automatic garbage collector from the D Programming Language.[C1]

[1] eUVM is an open-source multicore-enabled UVM implementation coded in D, and eUVM inherits an automatic garbage collector from D. [PDF] Crafting a Million Instructions/Sec RISCV-DV - DVCon Proceedings

[2] Because eUVM is implemented in D, it enables ABI-level compatibility with C/C++, allowing direct calls between C/C++ functions and eUVM testbenches without runtime overhead. [PDF] Crafting a Million Instructions/Sec RISCV-DV - DVCon Proceedings

[3] eUVM uses D metaprogramming capabilities including UDAs, CTFE, code introspection, and generative programming; code introspection and CTFE support compile-time constraint parsing and analysis, while UDAs help maintain native memory footprint for randomized data elements.

[4] The RISCV-DV eUVM port refactors parts of the architecture to comply with D Programming Language concurrency semantics and avoids problematic global or static variables in multithreaded access patterns. [PDF] Crafting a Million Instructions/Sec RISCV-DV - DVCon Proceedings

[5] eUVM can execute threads on multiple cores, supports forked processes assigned to specified processor threads, and its fork construct returns a configurable Fork object. [PDF] Crafting a Million Instructions/Sec RISCV-DV - DVCon Proceedings

[6] In eUVM shallow-copy construction, D object introspection is used to determine an object memory footprint, and a D slice-copy operation results in a single memcopy call. [PDF] Crafting a Million Instructions/Sec RISCV-DV - DVCon Proceedings

[7] D provides a format function comparable to SystemVerilog $sformatf and an sformat function that lets users provide scratch memory for formatted output. [PDF] Crafting a Million Instructions/Sec RISCV-DV - DVCon Proceedings
