uRM task-level interface?

[Davy]

Hi,



I am reading Cadence "EZ-Start Guide: SV interface" article.

And I found Cadence recommend using task-level interface to do
Transaction Layer Modeling (but the article is not very clear).



My question is

1. Can this method provide transaction layer blocking/non-blocking
put/get/peek? Is there any other reference article can provide more
information?

2. When will Cadence open SV uRM to our users?



I have heard from a Cadence AE that uRM will be open at the end of
2006, but it failed



Thanks!
Davy
