Title: IEEE DASC CoSponsorship of UPF Working Group


1
IEEE DASC Co-Sponsorshipof UPF Working Group
  • Proposal prepared by
  • Stephen Bailey
  • Chair, Accellera UPF Technical Subcommittee

2
Agenda
  • Request for DASC co-sponsorship of WG
  • Background of UPF-TSC
  • UPF from start to finish
  • IEEE and Accellera relationship
  • Working group
  • IEEE Timeline

Background for UPF-TSC
4
Industry Need
  • Power has become the dominate factor in the
    design of todays electronic systems
  • Explosion in battery operated systems
  • Many (most) non-portable designs are also
    constrained by power consumption requirements
  • Heat generation and dissipation
  • Practical power supply management
  • Current state is a hodge-podge of commercial and
    ad hoc solutions
  • SAIF, GAF, etc.
  • Specification of power aware design
    characteristics
  • Often done late at gate-level and ad hoc
  • Need to verify correctness of power-aware
    functionality
  • Done sooner and with higher correlation to design
    intent

5
Demonstrated Need
  • DAC 2006
  • TI and Nokia organized a meeting on the topic of
    an open standard for low power design flows
  • The 4 top EDA vendors attended
  • Plus Atrenta
  • Broad, significant user representation including
  • TI
  • Nokia
  • ARM
  • ST
  • Philips
  • Sun
  • Shrenik Mehta represented Accellera
  • Demand for Open, Fast, Inclusive standard

6
Mission of Accellera Low Power Flow TSC
  • The accelerated development of an open,
    comprehensive standard for the specification of
    power-aware requirements, design intent and
    implementation, verification and analysis across
    all design abstraction levels.

Highlights
  • Openness demonstrated throughout
  • Everyone invited and allowed to participate in
    TSC
  • Accellera membership not required to join
  • Documents available to all TSC members
  • Fast
  • Merely 5 months from start to finish
  • Inclusive
  • Unprecedented donations from 8 companies
  • EDA suppliers and users donated
  • Members and non-members of Accellera

12
IEEE and Accellera Relationship
13
Accellera and IEEE
  • Accellera has long-standing relationship with
    IEEE
  • Accellera Technical Committee Policies,
    Procedures, Guidelines
  • All established Accellera standards are
    eventually planned for IEEE standardization to
    speed worldwide acceptance of such standards.
  • Specification format, strawman donation and any
    other ownership documents follow or exceed IEEE
    rules and guidelines.
  • Plan of record is to transfer UPF to IEEE when
    complete
  • Since inception of IEEE Corporate Standards
    Program, Accellera Board recommends all standards
    be entity-based
  • SystemVerilog, PSL, OCI, UPF

14
CAG/DASC UPF Working Group
15
UPF Working Group
  • Submit draft PAR to DASC Chair for SC review and
    comment NLT 31 Jan 07
  • Sponsor PAR jointly with CAG
  • Draft PAR presented to CAG 6 Feb 07
  • Entity-based
  • Open to everyone
  • Initial WG chair Stephen Bailey
  • Conduct elections within DASC required 6 month
    period for all WG officers
  • Follow prior precedent of operating procedures
    for jointly sponsored WGs

Request approval of DASC-SC for UPF Working Group
Co-Sponsorship
  • Thank you!

On Convergence
  • The UPF WG is willing
  • To accept more than one technology donation
  • Provide the forum for converging multiple
    industry formats into a single standard
  • Change the name of the resulting standard
  • Conditions
  • Only one All donations for consideration must
    be submitted quickly
