SV-AC, SV-BC, SV-EC, SV-CC and SV-XC status Neil reported the technical subcommittees work. A copy of that presentation can be found at http://www.eda-stds.org/sv-ieee1800/Meetings/2007/January/committees0104 07.pdf. The group was informed of substantial changes being proposed in the assertion area. The view of this being substantial work is not held universally by all participants. Karen will advise the SV committees they are responsible to make the changes they will need to make in the two drafts prior to the merged document becoming the baseline draft. After that all changes will need to be made in the merged draft. b. Confirmation of the SV-AC election of John Havlicek (Freescale) as Chair and Dmitry Korchemny (Intel) as Co-chair A motion was made (Neil Korpusick, Stu Sutherland) to approve the election of John Havlicek and Dmitry Korchemny as the chair and co-chair of the SV-AC subcommittee. The motion passed unanimously. 8.5 EDITING UPDATE Stu is waiting for the official contract but will start work now. He also has some issues with the IEEE fonts being used as they do not match what he has or can download. 9 BOUNCING EMAILS OFF OF THE REFLECTORS There are several problems being reported by Mentor, Synopsys and Cadence about the reflectors. When the new SPAM filters were replaced, the reflectors appear to be working rather well. We believe all issues are now resolved. If there are any changes to this, the group will be informed. 10 REVIEW OF THE IEC TC93 - IEEE MAINTENANCE MEETING AT NIST There was a meeting to discuss if the IEC version of the Verilog standard, in particular incorporating the 2005 standard should include the deprecated PLI routines. The decision at the IEC TC92 meeting was to have the Verilog 2001 standard and the Verilog 2005 available at the same time and to add text in the IEC version of the standard that says Verilog 2005 supersedes Verilog 2001 and all maintenance work will be done in Verilog 2005. 11 NEXT MEETING (ANNOUNCE DATE, TIME, AND LOCATION, IF KNOWN) 2/20 At DVCon at 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. at Mentor Graphics (SV-EC meeting will run from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m.) 4/5 Teleconference 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. 5/24 Teleconference 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. 12 ADJOURNMENT As the end of the agenda was reached and no other business was before the committee, the meeting adjourned. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.Received on Tue Feb 13 09:53:27 2007
