Hi Guys,
We have some marching order from our boss, that we have to look at ensuring the SCE-API is compatible with SystemVerilog by February 2004. That means that we have to get started on looking at what problems we may have and the steps that we need to take.
Since I didn't hear any comments about my last posting, or about the proposed date for the next meeting, then I will set it to be: Thursday 26th June at 9:00 PST.

Subject: Synchronization with SystemVerilog 3.1A
As part of my announcement on SystemVerilog 3.1A (to be completed by DVCON
2004), I have added synchronization with Verilog-AMS and also SCE-API.
We are proceeding on a set of milestones for SystemVerilog. This
includes support of synchronization of the three standards. Without these
synchronization we cannot go to IEEE. Here what I expect at minimum:
1- Verilog-AMS should at least use the SystemVerilog 3.1 BNF (to be modified
for 3.1A). The BNF is available of SystemVerilog 3.1 is available for use.
This is based on IEEE 2001 Verilog.
2- Verilog-AMS could use some of the new data types like real, etc. It could
also examine the use of interfaces as mechanism of adding an analog macro
to a SystemVerilog. It can also inherit some of the Testbench capabilities
and possibly assertions.
3- In terms of SCE-API, we talked about separating the current SCE-API into
three parts. One of them could be the C-interface defined for SV 3.1. We can
also start the emulation acceleration and see what that can bring to both
committees.
Let me know what your thoughts are.
Best Regards
Vassilios
