SystemC Language WG
Charter: - Responsible for the definition and development of the SystemC core language, the
foundation on which all other SystemC libraries and functionality are built.
Current status - Released version 2.3 of the reference simulator to reflect IEEE 1666-2011 - Final package reorganized to include TLM 2.0
Plans for 2013 - Discuss new concepts affecting modeling performance - Collect and resolve submitted issues as needed
10

SystemC Synthesis WG
Charter: To define the SystemC synthesis subset to allow synthesis of digital hardware from high-level specifications.
Current status - Release of standard targeted for Q4 2013 - www.accellera.org/apps/org/workgroup/swg
Plans for 2013 - Review and edit draft to make sure it fully covers the SystemC LRM - Decide on remaining open items - Start work on new topics for the second version of the standard
11

SystemC AMS WG
Charter: The SystemC AMS Working Group is responsible for the standardization of the SystemC AMS extensions, defining and developing the language, methodology and class libraries for analog, mixed-signal and RF modeling in SystemC
Current status - Released the SystemC AMS 2.0 standard in March 2013
- www.accellera.org/downloads/standards/
Plans for 2013 - Update SystemC AMS User’s Guide to explain all Dynamic TDF features,
to be released H2 2013

SystemC Control Configuration & Inspection WG
Charter: To define standards that allow tools to interact with models in order to perform activities such as configuration, debug and analysis; target topics are:
- Configuration parameters - Command and control - Registers - Save and restore
Current Status - Currently preparing a draft of the Configuration standard for public review - www.accellera.org/apps/org/workgroup/cciwg
Plans for 2013 - Gather and incorporate feedback on the Configuration draft standard then prioritize and
start working on the Control and Inspection standards
13

SystemC TLM WG
Charter: To define industry standard interfaces for interoperable transaction-level models supporting architectural exploration, performance analysis, building virtual platforms for software development, and functional verification.
Current status - Delivered TLM library update to conform the IEEE1666 2011 standard - Integrated TLM 2.0 library with the SystemC core language package
14
© 2013 Accellera Systems Initiative, Inc. June 2013
SystemC Verification WG
Charter: The Verification Working Group (VWG) is responsible for defining verification extensions to the SystemC language standard, and to enrich the SystemC reference implementation by offering an add-on SystemC Verification (SCV) library to ease the deployment of a verification methodology based on SystemC.
Current Status - Currently updating the OSCI SCV library - www.accellera.org/apps/org/workgroup/vwg
Plans for 2013 - To further develop and integrate verification methodologies in SystemC/TLM - Public review planned for June 2013
