➀ PSS and UVM work together for system-level verification, with PSS ideal for system-level testing and UVM for block-level testing.

➁ The Siemens EDA white paper explains methods to enhance collaboration between PSS, UVM, and C, facilitating detailed testing using randomization and coordination across components.

➂ PSS is perfect for building and randomizing scenarios at the system level, connecting to DUT-level testbench components through UVM virtual sequences or high-level C models.

1. The article discusses the relationship between System VIPs and PSS (Portable Stimulus Standard), highlighting the need for scalable, out-of-the-box solutions for system verification. 2. It explains that while PSS is a powerful tool for defining system-level tests, there is a growing demand for more canned system VIP solutions that simplify the testing process for non-experts. 3. The article also outlines the basic requirements and functionalities of System VIPs, emphasizing their role in generating traffic and monitoring system-level behaviors like cache coherence.
