Old ARs: Arpad: Review the documentation (annotation) in the macro libraries. - deferred until a demand arises or we have nothing else to do 4) AMI_CornerRange_BIRD draft (Row 54) (Arpad) - last minute questions, comments? - vote to submit it to the Open Forum 5) AMI Task List Review - verify that submitted BIRDs address all issues raised - review open items - Row 35 Define how Impulse Response is generated - Row 46/47 Remove certain Reserved Parameters - Row 56 Should (Usage Out) parameters have Default? - Row 63 Should AMI_Close be always required? - review prioritization 6a) BIRD 121, data management parameters (file support) (Walter) - questions, comments? 6b) BIRD 122; Analog Buffer BIRD (Walter) - replaced with ISS_Buffer_BIRD.doc 6c) BIRD 123.2.2, jitter parameters (includes Row 37) (Walter) - review latest changes and graphics - do these changes answer the questions raised before: - remove Usage Out from the BIRD? or - specify which function (Init or GetWave) can return values? - specify what the EDA tool should do with the returned values? 6d) BIRD 124.1, dependency table (Walter) - questions, comments? 7) Info, Out, InOut BIRD (Arpad) - latest wording includes "in order to be compliant with this specification, Model_Specific parameters ... must not ...", and omits the word "simulation" so it's meaning doesn't have to be defined - any comments, questions on this draft? 8) Backchannel BIRD draft (Walter/Ken) - questions, comments? Remaining Task List items: ========================== Row 35: Clarify questions about impulse response - this needs to be discussed Row 37: Usage Out for reserved (jitter) parameters - which function (Init or GetWave) can return these? Row 46/47: Remove certain parameters and keywords - this needs to be discussed Row 54: Format Corner and Range interpretation - spell out what makes the selection for Corner and Range - is it the tool's corner setting? - if so, how does typ/min/max align with typ/slow/fast for Corner? - is it supposed to be shown in a GUI for the user to make a selection? Row 56: Should (Usage Out) parameters have Default or a Value at all? Row 63: Should AMI_Close always be required? - should the spec say that all memory deallocations are done in AMI_Close? - is that possible? (What if AMI_Init or GetWave allocates memory that is not visible to AMI_close)? - Currently AMI_Close is not required with AMI_Init, therefore when AMI_Close is not present AMI_Init has to do memory deallocations also... - goal is to make the model maker's life easier, and this is kind of confusing...
