  • IEEE SA/Accellera Partnership
    Corporate Program Case Study IEEE-SA/Accellera Partnership Relationship Between the IEEE-SA Corporate Program and Accellera Helps Design Automation Technology Gain Reach and Recognition Since 2000, Accellera, a consortium of companies in the electronic design automation field, has been developing and promoting use of design and verification specifications for semiconductors, systems, and design-tool companies. Ten of those documents have been finalized and issued in collaboration with the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) as IEEE standards. “Working with IEEE-SA brings these standards world-wide recognition and reach,” says Yatin Trivedi, Accellera’s treasurer and a long-time member of its board of directors. “IEEE-SA is recognized globally as a leading standards-development organization for a broad range of technical areas. Standards approved or ratified by IEEE are considered ‘good for you’ without question. Accellera has a good reputation, but not on the same scale as IEEE or IEEE-SA. IEEE-SA has a vast, international member base, as well as relationships with organizations such as IEC and other international and national standards bodies. These factors make IEEE standards based on Accellera documents acceptable to a broad, world-wide audience.” “And people know and expect that IEEE’s standards development process is rigorous, open, fair, peer-reviewed, and comprehensive,” adds Trivedi. The material that organizations like Accellera submit is viewed as a strong starting contribution to an IEEE entity standards working group (WG). Industry organizations submit specifications to IEEE with the full understanding that they’ll no longer have the control they once had over the document’s content--but the standards that result are more useful.

    Portable Test and Stimulus Standard Version 1.0 June 2018 Copyright © 2017 - 2018 Accellera. All rights reserved. Portable Test and Stimulus 1.0 Language Reference Manual — June 2018 Abstract: The definition of the language syntax, C++ library API, and accompanying semantics for the spec- ification of verification intent and behaviors reusable across multiple target platforms and allowing for the automation of test generation is provided. This standard provides a declarative environment designed for ab- stract behavioral description using actions, their inputs, outputs, and resource dependencies, and their com- position into use cases including data and control flows. These use cases capture verification intent that can be analyzed to produce a wide range of possible legal scenarios for multiple execution platforms. It also in- cludes a preliminary mechanism to capture the programmer’s view of a peripheral device, independent of the underlying platform, further enhancing portability. Keywords: behavioral model, constrained randomization, functional verification, hardware-software inter- face, portability, PSS, test generation. Copyright © 2017 - 2018 Accellera.

  • An ARM Cortex-M0 for Energy Harvesting Systems: a Novel Application of UPF with Synopsys’ Galaxy Platform
    An ARM Cortex-M0 for Energy Harvesting Systems: A Novel Application of UPF with Synopsys’ Galaxy Platform Jatin Mistry James Myers School of Electronics and Computer Science University of Southampton, UK www.ecs.soton.ac.uk and ARM Ltd Cambridge, UK www.arm.com ABSTRACT In energy harvesting systems, energy is effectively infinite but output power is severely limited. In this paper we first present a novel state retention power gating technique, called Sub-Clock Power Gating, which addresses this ultra-low power budget. It works in synergy with voltage and frequency scaling and power gates combinational logic within the clock cycle to reduce ac- tive power. Secondly, we describe how the technique was implemented on an ARM Cortex-M0™ microprocessor for fabrication and discuss our experience of using UPF with Synopsys' Galaxy Platform to achieve the required power gating. Finally, silicon measured results are given.

  • Security Annotation for Electronic Design Integration (SA-EDI)
    July 2021 Security Annotation for Electronic Design Integration Standard v1.0 Security Annotation for Electronic Design Integration Standard July 2021 Rev 1.0 July 2021 Security Annotation for Electronic Design Integration Standard v1.0 Abstract: The standard is collateral-centric with a focus on security concerns; it applies to electrical designs that are integrated into other circuits. The standard defines a methodology that (1) identifies elements, such as input or output ports, that can influence the behavior of a critical section within the design and (2) associates known security weaknesses based on the type of design and/or critical section. The methodology uses data objects, which are both human and machine readable, to capture security relevant information through the architectural and design phase of the electrical design to be consumed by an Integrator for their product lifecycle. The standard is independent of existing standards and is not part of the electrical design itself. Keywords: Security, RTL, attack surface, threat modeling, security weakness, mitigation, hardware, circuit design, integrated circuit, SoC, ASIC, IP July 2021 Security Annotation for Electronic Design Integration Standard v1.0 Notices Accellera Systems Initiative (Accellera) Standards documents are developed within Accellera and the Technical Committee of Accellera.
