UVM scoreboard architecture presented at DVCon 2015 in the paper:

  www.syosil.com

#######################################################################
# [2]: Bug Fixes
#######################################################################

  * Major clean up of code inclusive coding style to ensure
    same look and fell of the source code
  * Corrected usage of the uvm_config_db
  * Corrected the check_phase usage

#######################################################################
# [3]: New Features
#######################################################################

  * Added cloning of the incoming uvm_sequence_item so the UVM
    scoreboard is isolated from the rest of the TB
  * Added disable_clone configuration knob
  * Added max_queue_size[<queue>] configuration knob
  * Added in order compare algorithm
  * Added documentation in PDF format
  * Added implementation documentation generated with Doxygen

#######################################################################
# [4]: Known Limitations
#######################################################################
The current known limitations for this relase are:

  1. uvm_sequence_item_vmm not implemented 
  2. In order by producer compare not implemented
  3. item_time_out_queue and item_time_out_producer knobs not implemented
  4. Locater API and queue specific versions not implemented
  5. The TLM API is not supported yet. Thus, the user needs to implement tasks
     which calls the scoreboards add_item() method
  6. Only a standard SystemVerilog queue is supported

#######################################################################
