Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq:MENT) today announced that
Dennis Brophy and Dave Rich have received the IEEE Working Group
Chairman's Award for their contributions to the IEEE Std. 1800-2005
"SystemVerilog" standard. The award, which was presented by IEEE
1800 Working Group Chairman Johny Srouji, took place at a ceremony
held yesterday in San Jose. Brophy's and Rich's recognition further
establishes Mentor Graphics' leadership in SystemVerilog
development and adoption since the IEEE 1800 standard is critical
for new verification methodologies. The award was given to only
seven out of over one hundred individuals who serve on various IEEE
committees. Dave Rich, Mentor Graphics Design Verification and Test
Division verification technologist, having served on several IEEE
and Accellera technical committees, has expert knowledge of design
languages. Rich was involved in the development of Superlog, the
predecessor to SystemVerilog. For the IEEE 1800 Working Group, he
developed a significant number of technical enhancements,
corrections, and clarifications that were incorporated into the
newly delivered standard. Rich has been instrumental in reviewing
the work across all technical committees for this new SystemVerilog
standard. Dennis Brophy, Mentor Graphics Design Verification and
Test Division director of strategic business development and
secretary of the IEEE 1800 Working Group, received the IEEE Award
for his ability to drive industry-wide consensus with EDA vendors,
system houses, and semiconductor suppliers who participated in the
IEEE 1800 initiative. He is also a board member of the IEEE
Standards Association and its Corporate Advisory Group. He is a
major catalyst to fostering the use of the IEEE Corporate Program
for EDA standards and has helped forge a strong relationship
between the IEEE and Accellera. Brophy is past chairman of
Accellera and now serves as Accellera's Vice-Chairman. "We are
indebted to Mentor, Dennis and Dave for contributing to the
successful delivery of IEEE Std. 1800-2005," said Johny Srouji,
chairman of the SystemVerilog 1800 Working Group and Verilog 1364
Working Group. "Their efforts to establish SystemVerilog as a key
design and verification language help engineers deal with more
complex design configurations, greater logic functionality, and a
higher abstract representation of the design, using fewer lines of
register transfer level code." Mentor Graphics has recognized the
importance of SystemVerilog by being the first EDA vendor to fully
support this standard. Mentor's recently announced Questa(TM)
verification platform supports the new IEEE 1800 standard by
providing design and testbench constructs, assertions,and the
Direct Programming Interface (DPI) within a single-kernel solution.
SystemVerilog is supported by a broad range of Mentor products,
such as ModelSim(R), ADVance(TM) MS, VStation(TM) TBX and
Precision(R) RTL Synthesis. About the IEEE SystemVerilog 1800
Standard The IEEE SystemVerilog 1800 standard enables productivity
for hardware design, specification, simulation and validation,
especially for large-gate-count, IP-based, bus-intensive chips.
Based on the SystemVerilog 3.1, a hardware description and
verification language (HDVL) from the Accellera, it includes
features such as advanced design modeling capabilities, testbench
constructs, verification methods using assertion and testbench
language, and a richer coupling with other languages such as C/C++.
This unified standard gives the electronic design, semiconductor
and system design communities a way to make design, simulation,
validation and assertion-based verification work flows more
efficiently. IEEE Std. 1800-2005 is available now for purchase from
