Interface TC Tool Space HDL Simulators • Its difficult to build complete verification environments when they don’t talk • Does not imply 1 interface to do everything Debuggers ISS UML ? Co-Simulators Emulators C Based Verification Plan Accelerators Prototypes Abstract Software Testbench Components Checkers 5
Organizational Issues • This Technical Committee will continue to work on the definition of the big picture. • Additional sub-committee to work on aspects identified by TC • Transaction to emulator (needs to be broadened to transaction to pin) • Transaction to transaction • ISS • Others ? 6
Main TC Charter • To identify and standardize multi-abstraction and multi-domain interfaces to enable complete virtual prototypes to be constructed. • Goals: • Produce roadmap for TC by DAC • Complete 1 Accellera standard within 2002 • Have draft of at least one other 7
First Steps • Need a co-chair for this group. • Need technical chairs for the sub-groups. • Would like to identify the objectives of the group members. • Would like to identify additional members. 8
