Hello Cliff,
we think that the following enhancements in the assertion category are of particular interest
1) The "checker" construct that is now much more flexible and powerful than before, and will be the preferred encapsulation for building SVA checker libraries. Clause 17 in the LRM.
2) The new assertion control system task $assertcontrol that unifies control of all kinds of assertions and becomes more powerful and useful than the existing fragmented control tasks. Clause 20.12.
3) The semantics of "global clocking" have been modified to become more flexible when defining clocks for SoC consisting of various IP's and glue logic, each having its specific global clock. Clause 14.14.
Best regards
Surrendra and Ed

Hi, All -

I have been asked to give a short SystemVerilog-2012 update presentation at DAC. Stu Sutherland has already done a nice update last year at DAC but I would like to take a slightly different approach while sill acknowledging and referencing his DAC presentation.

I would like to gather input from as many SystemVerilog-2012 committee members as a I can regarding your favorite SystemVerilog-2012 enhancements. I would suggest that you email me with your five favorite enhancements (feel free to send fewer or more than five favorites).

Everyone that sends me a small list of favorites will be acknowledged and thanked in my presentation, which will eventually go into the public domain and will also be posted on my web page.

Time is short! All I need is a list of your favorite enhancements, preferably by the end of day on Friday, but you get extra credit for the following:
(1) Why each enhancement is on your favorites list.
(2) Any examples that show why the enhancement is cool!
(3) Reference to specific section numbers of the IEEE 1800-2012 LRM.

This is your chance to highlight enhancements that you as a committee member felt was important to the Design and Verification community.

Thanks in advance for you short (or extended) feedback.

If anybody has a complete list of the enhancements that was compiled separate from Stu's list, you get double-extra credit!

Regards - Cliff
