Hi Dmitry,
 
This sounds great. Thanks for pointing people to the two most important
documents, from an OVL point of view.
 
I think feedback from the OVL group today could fall into the following
categories:

  1) Priority of any language extensions that benefit the existing OVL:

	 - Instancing OVL modules, e.g.:
		- variable number of ports in modules
            - named port/param argument defaults via `define

	 - Language extensions that improve the verification efficiency
of 
	   the OVL implementation, e.g. next-value functions to avoid
$past

       - Note that lanaguage extensions that simplify the implementation
	   of the OVL library is not so important
 
    2) Endorsement of new "checker" container from an OVL perspective,
and if so:

            - Would we have an SVA "checker" implementation in the
future, 
              alongside module implementations in Verilog and SVA?

            - Priority of features in checker proposals
 
    3) General feedback on language proposals, details or typos spotted.
 
Today's call should focus on (1) and (2), with (3) provided offline.

Maybe we should vote on (2) after today's call.

Regards,

Mike

Hi all,

 

I would like to go briefly through the motivation slides (SV+.ppt) and
then to talk about the checkers (Checkers.ppt). Though the presentation
on the checkers is not self-sufficient and uses the material explained
in other presentations, it is the central part of the proposal from OVL
point of view, and I would like to focus on it.

 

Thanks,

Dmitry
