Hi folks,
Here's a quick summary of our POV.

As a leader in verification and system design, Synopsys recognizes customer
need for high-performance interoperability between testbenches, simulators,
system verification tools and emulation/acceleration hardware, along with
suitable debugging capabilities. We believe that SCE-API as part of ITC
can improve and grow the a standard plus drive adoption into the industry
to solve real-world verification and design problems. That's one of the
reasons we were a charter member of this group.

Synopsys is a leader in driving and supporting open standards that secure
broad industry adoption and that truly provide value to the design
community. We therefore support the existence and expansion of the SCE-API
subgroup for the development of high performance interfaces, and have
already begun delivering product solutions that leverage the current
SCE-API/SCE-ME draft standard.

We can contribute 2-3 person days per month for discussion, review and
feedback on extensions to the current SCE-API spec, leveraging several of
our experts in verification and system design.

ps: We have finally closed on transfer document that transfers SCE-API
interests over to Accellera so you can all get off my back now ... Thanks
for keeping this one moving !
