VITAL-2000 Workshop
IBIS Hotel - Charles de Gaulle Aéroport/Gares
Paris, France
June 19, 2000
9:00-17:30
Organized by the European Electronic Chips
& Systems design Initiative (ECSI)
Co-sponsored by VHDL International
______________________________________________________________
Instructors
* Dennis Brophy, Model Technology - VITAL TAG Chair
* Jose DeCastro, Consultant - Lead VITAL Memory Model Developer
Overview
The workshop will highlight the new features of VITAL-2000
as contrasted to VITAL-1995. VITAL, the VHDL Initiative Towards
ASIC Libraries is currently in ballot by the IEEE. After the
Paris workshop, the VITAL Technical Action Group (TAG) will meet
to review the ballot comments. This workshop will serve as an
excellent venue for comments from European users, developers and
producers to meet and discuss the new additions to this standard.
There are several new features which have been added to the base
system along with some bug fixes. In addition, a new memory model
has been proposed. The workshop will detail this new memory model
and will highlight its use with several examples. There will be
several breaks during the day for you to meet with the workshop
instructors who also worked in the implementation of VITAL-2000.
