ECSI Institute Workshop on TLM Standards

Outline

The TLM Standards workshop organised by ECSI in conjunction with the IP-SOC 2006 Conference will provide the audience with an update on international Transaction Level Modelling related standards. This is workshop coincides with the public review period of the new OSCI TLM 2.0 standard making this a very timely forum for presentation and discussion. Many EDA and IP companies are intending to support this OSCI standard by providing API interfaces defined on top of TLM 2.0, enabling compatible libraries and models as well as enhanced modelling support services. This is an important technical development for both EDA companies and users. Unified adoption of these standards is critical to ensure the increased industry adoption of efficient ESL design and modelling.

This dynamic evolution of ESL gives the design community significant reasons to meet and to discuss different points of view. There are some very important issues arising: will the TLM 2.0-compliant models be truly interoperable? How can this interoperability be proven in the multi-source and multi-tool environment? How should IP companies actively start delivering or generating models to these APIs?

This event is intended to give a complete overview of the TLM standards today, the existing and emerging tool support, interfaces, libraries and design environment. It presents an opportunity to reflect on what we still need to do to truly make ESL the fundamental front-end to the system-on-chip design and development process. We hope that you can join us for this excellent set of presentations and open discussions.
