ATTENDEES
. Ghassan Khoory
. Joao Geada
. Avinash Mani
. Francoise Martinolle
. Ralph Duncan
. Bassam Tabbara
A. VPI READER DISCUSSION
1. Bassam and Francoise discussed the merits of
. Having single read interfaces, such as vpi_goto, perform multiple
functions, rather than using multiple vpi functions (e.g.,
vpi_goto,
vpi_control) to each provide a subset of that functionality.
. Utilizing a specific type for traversing collections.
2. Joao, Bassam and Fraincoise discussed implications of accessing
database objects when only a portion of a simulation variable is
present in the DB:
.. Whether this triggers the Reader obtaining the rest of the data or
whether the reader simply displays the portion of the data (i.e.,
the bits) that it does have.
.. There was general agreement that having the reader display only
what it has loaded is superior to having it obtain the rest of the
data or using an additional bit to indicate whether a value is
valid.
B. VPI ANNOTATION DISCUSSION
Joao summarized major changes to
. relate scopes to symbols obtained from packages via import clauses,
. the variable diagram and its relation to diagrams for registers, et
al.,
. the type specification diagram,
. the mod ports diagram.
C. ACTIONS
VPI Reader
. Bassam to email responses to details of Francoise's written remarks.
. Bassam to address Michael's comments.
. Bassam to send out the updated version before Wednesday's meeting.

MISC.
