Next Meeting:
The next meeting will be a face to face meeting
at ICCAD on Tuesday, 11/10/98, from 12:30-2:00 pm PDT.
There will be a simultaneous teleconference.
Details:
1. Review progress on action items
No progress on the IBM patents or operating conditions. The
IBM strawman document is nearly ready after being scrubbed.
Jim plans to ask about the availability of the training manual
when meeting with the Fishkill group on 10/28.
Mark set up the face to face meeting at ICCAD, and Jim confirmed
that Vassilios had provided IBM with the template for transferring
copyright to OVI.
Mark proposed having the DC-WG/SLDL joint working group meetings
on alternate weeks in the same time slot as the DC-WG teleconference;
the proposal was accepted. Steve indicated the reflector for the
joint working group would be set up on 10/27.
Mark previously distributed a presentation on the joint working group.
We reviewed it and everyone agreed it was a reasonable summary.
Dan sent mail to Steve on the boundary parasitics, and Mark also
talked with Steve. Mark split the taxonomy document and posted
it on the web site; we agreed to switch to using Office '97 for
the document.
2. Discuss tasks and schedule
We skipped this, since Mark hadn't had time to complete the
schedule before the meeting.
3. Review clock uncertainty proposal
Mark described the proposal for handling inter-clock uncertainty
and how it relates to jitter, which is basically to have two
separate parameters: the inter-clock jitter, and the inter-clock
insertion delay uncertainty. There is a need to control whether
the insertion delay uncertainty should be interpreted as overriding
or adding to any computed difference in insertion delay.
4. Discuss agenda for face to face meeting
We discussed several items including
- tasks and schedule
- operating conditions
- constraints on non-clock buffer trees
- slew limits
Thanks,
Mark
