Next Meeting:

The next meeting will be a teleconference on 5/18

Details:
1. Review action items

Mark sent the GCF 2.0 spec; Bob is working on approval for
using the IBM logo.

2. Discuss operating conditions

We agreed that for the DAC demo we will use the worst case
process point, that it will be identified using a floating
point number rather than a string, and that the value of the
floating point number will 1.0.

Vikas and Bob needed more time to review the GCF 2.0 draft
on operating conditions before providing input on the approach
for post-DAC DCDL.

3. Discuss the golden constraints file for the demo

Everyone was ok with the files.

4. Discuss the DAC demo

We talked a lot about logistics, which resulted in many action items.
The demo staging for the ASIC flow will be done within Cadence on
June 1-7, with machines being boxed up and shipped on June 8-9.

The demo staging for the FPGA flow will be done within Mentor with
pretty much the same timeline.

Thanks,
Mark
