Queue in System Verilog

  A SystemVerilog queue is a First In First Out scheme which can have a variable size to store elements of the same data type. It is similar to a one-dimensional unpacked array that grows and shrinks automatically. They can also be manipulated by indexing, concatenation, and slicing operators.

TLM in UVM- Introduction

Transaction Level Modeling is a modeling style for building highly abstract models of components and systems. In this scheme, data is represented as transactions (class objects that contain random, protocol-specific information) that flow in and out of different components via special ports called TLM interfaces.
