Re: August 14, 2003 Call for declaration of intent to donate
As the major donor of the SCE-MI 1.0 technology and a contributor to
Accelera, Mentor Graphics is committed to promoting, improving and
implementing standards. Mentor Graphics' emulation division, MED, is
particularly committed to standards such as the SCE-API which address
efficient interfaces between HDL implementation and other environments.
As part of our continuing promotion of the recently approved SCE-MI 1.0
transaction based interface standard MED intends to donate a backwards
compatible and complementary extension to that standard. The chief
improvements over SCE-MI 1.0 are in the areas of ease of use,
abstraction and encapsulation for common use modes, and compatibility
with simulation. This interface is compatible with emerging standards in
the HDL and HVL areas including, the Accelera System Verilog 3.1
standard and System C. All models written for this interface and SCE-MI
1.0 can coexist and cooperate within the same simulation or emulation
run. This interface is implementable in both simulation and emulation
with high performance, and is therefore consistent with the charter of
the ITC SCE-API and SCE-MI groups.
