RE: Minutes of AMS Committee Meeting - 10 May 2005

Greetings,
The SV committees are all using the Mantis database on eda.org to manage
their open issues. This is available to your committee as well. Please let
me know if you want to use it and I can set you up with the appropriate
project and accounts.

Regards
David

Subject: Minutes of AMS Committee Meeting - 10 May 2005


Attendees:
* Marq Kole, Philips
* Jon Sanders, Cadence
* Scott Cranston, Cadence
* Sri Chandra, Freescale
* Geoffrey Coram, Analog Devices
* Prasanna Tamhankar, Freescale
* Shekhar Chetput, Cadence

SV-AMS proposal:
  - The rough date for release of cadence strawman proposal is not yet
known. Hopefully there will be some information on this in the coming weeks.
  - The original plan of accellera (as specified by Vassilios) was to target
the release early next week. The technical committee is yet to confirm this
date and can be done once the proposal is sent across and the other
requirements prioritized.
  - The merged BNF work with v2001 done by Graham has been sent to cadence,
along with open issues with v2005 in terms of BNF merger.

Short term agenda for committee
  - Sri will post the list of open issues from the different sources: Issues
table in the accellera webpage, Annex G of LRM and emails floating around on
the reflector.
  - The committee is planning to go through this list in the coming weeks
and prioritize based on importance. Its not guaranteed that all the priority
items would be addressed in the next version (3.0). 
  - Based on time and the SV-AMS proposal it will be decided to push some of
them as part of SV-AMS 3.0
  - SV-AMS uses a database (maintained by accellera or boyd.com) to track
all the open issues. Is it possible to use this for AMS work also? Sri to
get in touch with Vassilios/Dennis and see whether this can be done.
  - Geoffrey mentioned that it might be good for somebody to have a look at
the keyword conflicts that are going to occur with SV-AMS.

* New features that are currently in proposal stage
  - Patrick is working on the enhancements to the $table_model features.
List of requirements were discussed and prioritized in a committee meeting
few weeks ago. The proposal will be based on this. 
  - Prasanna will send out a proposal for mixed signal non-transient
analysis (AC, Noise)

* General
  - Vassilios has resigned as lead of the different technical committees
under Accellera. No replacement has yet been announced.

* Calls going forward
  - The calls will be fortnightly.
  - Please note change in call timings (from today's call). It will be on
Tuesdays 3:00pm US Pacific Time.
