Title: ECSI Workshop on TLM Users Experience

ECSI Institute Workshop on

TLM Standards

December 4, 2006 - 9:30-18:30

Grenoble, France
in conjunction with IP-SoC Conference


Outline

The TLM Standards workshop organised by ECSI in conjunction with the IP/SOC Conference, has the main objective to provide the audience with an update on Transaction Level Modelling related standards. It is not by chance that it is organised precisely at that point of time: in December the new version 2.0 of the OSCI TLM Standard will be published for public review. Also the IP-XACT standard of the SPIRIT Consortium evolved significantly to cover TLM concepts in its forthcoming specification 1.4. Moreover, the EDA and IP companies announce their significant support for these approaching standards in terms of API interface standards defined on top of TLM2.0, compatible libraries and models, as well as support services e.g. in modelling.

All this dynamic evolution gives enough reasons to meet and to discuss different points of view. However, there are questions, which seem to be more important than others: will the TLM2.0-compliant models interoperable? How to prove this interoperability in the multi-source and multi-tool environment?

This event is intended to give crucial elements to answer these (and other!) questions, and to unite the community to give a complete overview of what we have now available in terms of standards, tools, interfaces, libraries, design environment & and to reflect together what we still need to do in the future.
