why you get hangs in your UVM based simulator

2024-01-27

I summerize some main reasons when you may see your testbench simulator hangs:

1. get hangs in agent-driver/monitor forever loops because there is no time consumed in the loop
2. clock event not triggered because your design may have Latch
3. get hangs in reference model beacause rfm usually require complex expression(like fork-join,forever)
4. TLM port task is blocked(get(),peek())
