NASCUG 17 - North American SystemC User Group

February 27, 2012
Co-located with DVCon 2012
San Jose, CA USA
www.nascug.org

The North American SystemC User’s Group (NASCUG) accelerates the use of SystemC for both new and established users by providing venues for users to contribute, learn, and interact. A central component of the half-day user's group meeting is a number of short user experience presentations discussing techniques of design, modeling and verification using SystemC.

Our next meeting, NASCUG 17, will be held Monday, February 27, 2012. The meeting is co-located with Design & Verification Conference 2012 (DVCon) in San Jose, California, USA.

SPONSORED LUNCHEON: Town Hall Lunch with the Accellera Systems Initiative

February 27, 2012
12:00pm - 1:00pm
DVCon, Pine Ballroom
San Jose, CA USA
http://dvcon.org/eventdetails?id=131-250

Join us at lunch to celebrate the emergence of the Accellera Systems Initiative. This "town hall" meeting will have no presentations, but rather will feature you, the forward-looking front-end standards community, exchanging ideas on the future of the new organization. Stan Krolikoski, DVCon Tutorial and Panels Chair and Secretary of the Accellera Systems Initiative, will host this lively open meeting in conjunction with Accellera Systems Initiative Officers, Board Members and Technical Working Groups Chairs.

The main topic for this Town Hall discussion will be:

"What will success for the Accellera Systems Initiative look like?"

There are many facets to this question, for example:

• New standards that should be pursued
• Synergies that ought to be exploited between existing or emerging standards
• Relationships with or expansion into adjacent technology areas, e.g., the Embedded SW world
• Extension of User Groups activity across all of our standards

Come prepared to discuss these and other factors that will put the Accellera Systems Initiative on a path to success that will eclipse even the stellar achievements of its two predecessors, Accellera and OSCI.

Workshop: OSCI and Accellera Core Technologies for the Next Generation of System-Level Design

Friday, March 16, 2012
8:30h - 16:30h
Colocated with DATE 2012
Organized by Axel Braun, ESCUG
http://www.date-conference.com/conference/workshop-w6

Description:

The merger of the Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI) and Accellera unifies trendsetting standardization activities in the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) world and opens a wide range of new perspectives and synergies. The standards that are established and promoted by OSCI and Accellera cover a broad spectrum of today’s and tomorrow’s Electronic System Level (ESL) modeling and verification strategies.

This workshop is focused on the core technologies from both the OSCI and the Accellera world, and gives an outlook on how techniques may collaborate and converge. The format of the workshop includes four invited sessions from Doulos, Synopsys, Cadence, and ARM--providing a substantiated overview of the core technologies and their future way--and tutorial sessions--providing a practical guide on how those technologies can be successfully applied for improving a company's design strategy. In a second section, the workshop provides a platform for users to present their work based on OSCI and Accellera technologies.
