Hi,

Apparently, email from my mentor email address was not posted. This is 
an alternate address that should also allow posting for me.

Hi,

I have been working on VHDL standardization in recent years and I am also working on subcommittee of the SystemVerilog IEEE standards effort dubbed SV-XC.  It's goal is to formalize mixed language interoperability between SystemVerilog, VHDL, System-C, and Verilog-AMS.  The perspective of the effort is SystemVerilog and the specifications that result are aimed at the SV LRM. Nevertheless, language changes may be proposed for and brought to other language groups that benefit interoperability. There are current discussions about language enhancements to VHDL and this SV effort is orthogonal to that.  It is no coincidence that both efforts are active concurrently as they represent different takes on satisfying the unmet needs of our user community.

The first step in the SV effort is gathering requirements and priorities broadly.  The SV-XC committee is soliciting your input on SystemVerilog Interoperability. The committee has prepared a survey in order to gather user requirements and help focus the standardization activities based on your requirements. The survey is available at:

http://www.eda-stds.org/sv-xc/otherdocs/survey1.0.txt

This is a simple text file. You can save it on your desktop and fill it out with your normal editor. 

The instructions are provided in the survey. Please send your feedback to the committee by emailing to sv-xc@eda.org. If you like you can also send your completed survey to logie@synopsys.com or somdipta@ti.com, the co-chairs of SV-XC.
