Verilog, standardized as IEEE 1364, is a hardware description language (HDL) used to model electronic systems.

It is most commonly used in the design and verification of digital circuits at the register-transfer level of abstraction.

It is also used in the verification of analog circuits and mixed-signal circuits, as well as in the design of genetic circuits.

In the semiconductor and electronic design industry, SystemVerilog is a combined hardware description language and hardware verification language based on extensions to Verilog.

The Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) is a standardized methodology for verifying integrated circuit designs.

UVM is derived mainly from the OVM (Open Verification Methodology) which was, to a large part, based on the eRM (e Reuse Methodology) for the e Verification Language developed by Verisity Design in 2001.

The UVM class library brings much automation to the SystemVerilog language such as sequences and data automation features (packing, copy, compare) etc., and unlike the previous methodologies developed independently by the simulator vendors, is an Accellera standard with support from multiple vendors: Aldec, Cadence, Mentor, and Synopsys.

Machine code or machine language is a set of instructions executed directly by a computer's central processing unit (CPU).

Each instruction performs a very specific task, such as a load, a jump, or an ALU operation on a unit of data in a CPU register or memory.

Every program directly executed by a CPU is made up of a series of such instructions.
