  11. Meta Data WG Update Prashant Karandikar(Texas Instruments), August 13, 2009

  12. 2009 Goals given to the WG by the GSC • Spirit interoperability • Implement OCP within existing Spirit format • Spirit enhancements • Propose and drive modifications into IP-XACT standard • Core compatibility reports • Ability to automatically compare OCP interface configurations • Release IP-XACT checkers to OCP-IP community • Enhance for OCP 3.0

  13. People involved • Nokia: Vesa Lahtinen • TI: Prashant Karandikar, Anne-Francoise Joanblanq, Olivier Sagner, Bob Maaraoui, James Aldis • Sonics: Kamil Synek, Pascal Chauvet, Drew Wingard • Synopsys: Mark Noll • STMicroelectronics: Serge Hustin, Christophe Amerijckx • Magillem Design Services: Cyril Spasevski, Stephane Guntz • Toshiba ( Yasuhiko ) • OCP-IP: Ian Mackintosh • Mentor Graphics later? • John Wilson already on the reflector, waiting for a Mentor participant to the teleconferences

  14. Background • OCP-IP has been talking about an IP-XACT description for several years, now we just simply need to provide it in 2008. Even if it means making some compromises. • Clean and elegant solution that fits all OCP users should be the goal, but it has to be something that complies with IP-XACT 1.4 and we need to get ok from key tool providers so that their tools will be able to use the description. • We should not make a monster. If somebody is only operating on small fixed OCP subsets, the full configurability of OCP should be hidden somehow. Still the description should also support the full set of configuration options. • Eventually IP-XACT description should replace rtl.conf.

  15. Spirit Interoperability Implement OCP within existing spirit format • Use the Magillem/Sonics proposal as basis • ST-style checking is used to validate an IP description Status : • Vendor Extension Schema for Busdef and Abstraction Definition have been defined and available in SVN repository. • OCP configuration Checker is also available in SVN repository. • Both of above deliveries have been agreed within MDWG. Next Steps • Documentation ( 3Q/4Q09 )

  16. Spirit Enhancement Propose and drive modifications into IP-XACT standard • Proposal for configurable bus interfaces was not accepted for IP-XACT1.5 • Spirit Consortium SWG agreed to put staging process for configurable bus interface solution , it may become part of the schema sometime later. • Pascal , Stephan & Prashant talked with Dr. Gary on 28th July

  17. Core Compatibility report Ability to automatically compare OCP interface configurations • Check the inter-interface consistency (Current configuration compliance checks) • Check consistency of a connected master / slave interface pair (Current interface interoperability checks) • Check consistency of the ports and parameters • Generate the rtl.conf file out of configured IP-XACT parameter list (legacy support) • Configure IP-XACT parameter list based on an rtl.conf file and give rtl.conf files of OCP standard profiles as examples (legacy support) • This activity is expected to happen during Q2/Q3 09

  18. OCP3.0 Add OCP 3.0 signals and parameters to bus definition schema • Activity duration is Q3/Q4 of 2009

  19. Release of IP-XACT checker to OCP-IP community • Steps for IP-XACT checker release • OCP vendor extension schema & checker approval by MDWG members. • Documentation of the schema & checker has been approved by MDWG members • Transfer of checker generation script from ST is still pending.

  21. SLD Working Group Update Mark Burton (Greensocs), August 13, 2009

  22. Summary • Release of kit achieved • No negative feedback to date, some suggested improvements from WG members • Issues: • Progress on releases very slow due to lack of membership • Circuit Sutra offered some useful donation, but this seems to be stalled? • Should we move to support OSCI CCI (as we did TLM)? • Protocol checking never happened - GreenSocs announced at DATE that it will provide a protocol checker, could this be used for OCP?

  23. OCP 3.0 • This is on our roadmap for this year • Some forward movement, still hard work to do. • Upcoming release will support some of the easier features of OCP 3.0

  24. SLD WG Status

  25. The SLD Mid-Term Vision - unchanged • OUR KIT IS HIGH QUALITY, AND STABLE.. • Ensure that OCP users have a 'complete' modelling infrastructure available • multiple levels of abstraction (pure-functional to cycle-accurate) and use models (software development, architecture exploration, etc) • completeness means • bus interface , performance monitoring interface ,system debug interface and configuration interface • Make this modelling infrastructure standards compliant. • E.g. drive existing OCP-IP experience and expertise into OSCI-TLM • Maintain alignment between OSCI-TLM OCP-IP

  27. NoC Benchmarking WG Update Erno Salminen(Tampere University Technology), August 13, 2009

  28. Current status • Simulation tool Transaction Generator prepared open source release • Expected release Sept-Oct ’09 • Snapshots will be available from OCP-IP site and full version history from elsewhere • Collaboration proposal sent EEMBC • EEMBC President Markus Levy seemed very positive towards this • Has already been discussed in EEMBC board but formal decision pending

  29. Current status (2) • New member: prof. Omar Hammami, ENSTA, France • Strong experience with multiprocessor systems on FPGAs • Will take lead on profiling EEMBC MultiBench applications • Guideline document being prepared • Dr. Zhonghai Lu (KTH, Sweden)

  31. Specification WG Update Drew Wingard(Sonics Inc), August 13, 2009

  32. Specification WG 2009 Plan

  33. Specification WG Status • 3.0 Member Review draft • Substantial review comments received • Toshiba still intends more • No substantive external (outside WG) review of coherence • Next step: evaluate review comments • Coherence ones most substantive/contentious • Expect end September consensus

  34. Next Specification Releases • OCP 3.0 (Member Review: May 09) • Focus is cache coherence extensions (major) • Verification guidelines delayed until later release • Also • Power management signaling (disconnect) • Write response extension • Profile 3 • Full Release: October 09?

  35. Specification WG Issues • Cache coherence extensions • No motivation to cover in CoreCreator • Little clear drive for work beyond 3.0

  36. CoreCreator 4.0 (The old version) Status Check • Need to EOL this year • Only covers OCP 1.x and 2.0 • Getting very old (support more difficult) • Suggestion: • No new keys after July ’09 (~ 1 year after CC 2) • All keys expired by July ’10 • Can we go faster?

  37. OCP 4.0 Status • No progress in WG • Ian out prospecting • Drew needs to engage as well • Ian’s OCP 4.0 status • … • Suggest we plan 4Q’09 start

  38. Performance Measurements? • Don’t remember this one…

  49. Evolution of Multi-Core Debugging and Link to OCP OCP Debug WG GOAL: Standardized and Commercially available multi-core debug IP block for the OCP interconnect However - Plug and Play Debug remains in the future. Biggest obstacle is wide variability of the debug interface of the processors As example. MCDS debug IP takes 12 man months to adapt to a new processor core. We plan to classify processors due to their debug interface functionality: • Single threaded, multi threaded, outstanding transactions, out of order, cache coherency transactions, … require different debug activities.
