Re: [sv-cc] SV-CC agenda for 09/13/2006

Chas,

is there any update yet on the interoperability issue, as discussed 
during 08/16/2006:
"
  - Francoise reported that the SV-BC  are considering interoperability
    with VHDL, AMS, systemC, ...etc.  Some people think we need to have 
VPI extended to
    do this.  Not sure what the extent of this would be at this point.  
Related to
    synchronization issues.  Several people think we should have a new 
sub-committee to
    handle these issues.  Brad Pierce will be asking the P1800 committee 
to form a
    new interoperability committee.
"

I believe the industry is in need to have a definition on how a SV 
simulator and a systemC simulator
(or any non-HDL simulator) can/do interoperate. This is especially 
important for synchronization
issues, and might end up with the definition of a sort of "cosimulation 
interface" that gives a programmer
the access to the important scheduler points.

As said, is there any update yet ?

Best regards,
-Michael
