- Yatin introduced himself. He is now the chair for this committee.
As stated in a prior email to the group, he stated that he is
available for discussions/phone calls. He lives on the West coast,
so any reasonable west coast time (after 8am, prior to 10pm) is OK.
We went over the agenda and procedural issues. From now the standard
procedure will be to review and approve previous minutes at the
start of each meeting and then go through the agreed upon agenda.
For each task to be handled by this group, the process will be:
1) obtain a requirements document for the task
2) discuss requirements via the email reflects and/or directly between
the parties as appropriate
4) form group to create technical spec proposal
5) proposals given to committee
- went over results of action items from previous week:
* Ghassan/Yatin: Vassilious has restated that it is this committee's
responsibility to deal with all the foreign language interfaces:
direct foreign language interface
assertion API
coverage API
PLI/VPI enhancements
Specifically, the deliverable from this committee is to be the
portions of the SystemVerilog standard proposal related to the
above APIs Committee will generated the technical specifications,
Yatin will edit these into the standards text. Yatin will be the
central repository for any documents we generate.
* Yatin/Simon communicated that Peter will not be able to complete
the action item from last meeting (direct interface requirements)
due to other work on his plate. Simon will take over this action
item and provide comments/additions/differences over the
requirements that Andrzej proposed (instead of creating an
independent set of requirements).
- Francoise asked if any priority on the 4 APIs given by the main
SystemVerilog committee.
Ghassan&Yatin stated that no, that priorities are to be established
by us.
We all agreed to continue with our existing priorities
1- direct interface
2- assertion/coverage API
3- vpi
- Francoise asked how we were going to deak with the VPI task.
* Joao suggested that this would best be achieved by having a
sub-group create a proposal.
* Francoise accepted to be lead for that sub-group, as long as we all
first agree on VPI enhancement requirements
- Francoise asked if there are any global requirements for all the APIs.
eg that they all have to interoperate, abilitity to call one API from
within another APIs context etc.
Similarly, do we have requirements for all the APIs?
** ACTION: Joao: to create proposal for "global requirements" that are to
be met by all the APIs
** ACTION: Joao: to create proposal for assertion API requirements
** ACTION: Joao: to create proposal for coverage API requirements
** ACTION: Francoise: create proposal for VPI enhancement requirements
All action items above to be submited by 8/15, with goal of reaching
approval for all the above by/on the 9/3 meeting.
** ACTION: Yatin: to create process by which requirements/spec
proposals will be handled by this group. Process to be given to
committee no later than 8/15
** VOTED: we all approved the minutes of the last (7/23) meeting
- there were some questions raised about the donations deadline for
the System Verilog standard. The deadline is either September 15 or
end of September.
** ACTION: Yatin: to clarify what the real deadline is and communicate
to group as soon as possible.
Next meeting to be held Aug 20th, same time, same conference number.
(details at top of this email)
Yatin encouraged us all to discuss proposals via email, and to reach
agreement and resolutions in as far as possible prior to the meetings,
leaving the meetings primarily for prioritizing and recording official
votes. At the moment there is a proposal for the direct foreign
language interface requirements, so he'd like us all to discuss that
and reach some resolution prior to next meeting.
