Dear Shalom,

I am also bit unclear at this stage on the specifics and hence I would 
like to discuss with the committee and hear some of the thoughts in this 
regard - what aspects the committee should be focusing on as part of 
this merge process. Any particular ground work in terms of syntax 
differences, semantics, integrated scheduling algorithm between the SV 
and AMS engines etc.

We might have to do something bit different compared to what we did with 
1364-2005 integration. With that integration we pretty much merged the 
language at the syntax level first and worked out the semantics of each 
of the sections (we merged the entire digital language at the grammar 
level into AMS).

There are couple of my personal thoughts in this, and I am sure there 
are much better opinions out there. Given that the analog extensions 
will be much smaller compared to the P1800 standard, I believe that it 
might be easier to extend the current SV/P1800 standard to include the 
AMS extensions. In essence, enhance the current P1800-2009 standard to 
support analog/mixed signal syntax and semantics and in the process see 
whether any of the current SV language constructs are applicable to AMS 
and what the common aspects of the two languages are, so that we dont 
define independent semantics for these. But at the more fundamental 
level, there have been some concerns raised in terms of integrating the 
scheduling semantics between AMS and SV. I am not yet very clear on this 
issue, and why it would be difficult to integrating the scheduling 
engine but we need to understand this more clearly. I am sure there are 
many more things to this integration apart from what I have mentioned 
here, but hopefully this will enable other discussions on how to address 
this P1800 merge.

We are currently requesting permissions with Accellera and the P1800 
committee for the original documentation source (framemaker documents?)

Regards,
Sri
