Hello John,
We have started these activities six months ago, with the creation
of the DWG. The mission of the DWG is to develop a unified kernel of
assertion
that WILL BE used in both SystemVerilog and PSL. This has been agreed by all
the leaders (sv-ac and fvtc) and has been approved and sanctioned by the
Accellera board. As you know the members of the DWG are (Harry Foster, Erich
Marschner, Stephen Meier, Faisal Haque and Prakash Narain).
The DWG has completed its first LRM for the unified Kernel. Based on
the Accellera Board direction, then both committees (SV-AC and FVTC) will
start reviewing this unified Kernel)and start the integration process into
both PSL and SV 3.1. The DWG has gone into many compromises to get the
unified kernel accepted by the different factions. Every member of the DWG
has accepted these compromises and voted to publish this unified kernel.
To do this, I am currently involved in reorganizing the FVTC
committee so that it can accomplish this goal. The FVTC will implement the
TCC technical roadmap that was agreed upon by all existing chairs. The FVTC
will also implement the business directive that were clearly defined for
both SV and FVTC to adopt this unified kernel. Nothing will be published as
an Accellera from either FVTC or SV without this unification.
Best Regards
Vassilios

All:
What is the plan to achieve alignment with PSL?
The DWG was supposed to produce a unified kernel for
both the SV-AC and FVTC efforts, so the syntax and
semantics choices in the SVA LRM must be consistent
with such a plan. It is not reassuring to hear only
that alginment will be "worked out later".
Best regards,
John Havlicek
