New Discussion:
Status of draft AMI BIRD:
- Todd declared that the BIRD is good enough to prove concept.
- Arpad brought up timetables:
- There will be no meeting next week.
- Arpad is concerned about the BIRD timetable
- People should review the BIRD and give feedback before next meeting.
- Todd felt that we may not need regular ibis-atm meetings:
- We need to have proof of concept before going to IBIS open forum.
- There may be a lot of discussion within that larger group, and it
will go smoother if we can prove the concept.
- We would go to the open forum probably in middle of September.
- A problem is that this coincides with the Asian summit.
- Arpad asked if the proof of concept will be a real model:
- What will it look like?
- Todd asked which vendor can provide a model without an NDA?
- Hemant said we need to publish a correlatable reference model.
- It should be an open source model, that works on multiple platforms.
- It would be very simple on the inside, but will exercise the API.
- Walter felt that we need both proposals.
- Walter said that the BIRD draft document should be under revision control.
- Arpad pointed out that there is a BIRD revision numbering system.
- But we can't get a BIRD number until we go to open forum
- The need here is to have revision control before it becomes a formal BIRD.
- Bob asked if Rx_clock_PDF can be input-only:
- Can Rx_Sensitivity be both Info and InOut?
- Walter said that only Executable allows Multiple use.
- Walter suggested that this level of detail needs to be resolved by email.
- We took a roll call vote:
- Is the AMI BIRD proposal ready to move forward into testing?
- One vote per company:
- Arpad Muranyi, Intel Corp. Yes
- Bob Ross, Teraspeed Consulting Group Yes
- Hemant Shah, Cadence Design Systems Yes
- John Angulo, Mentor Graphics Yes
- Mike LaBonte, Cisco Systems Yes
- Radek Biernacki, Agilent (EESof) Yes
- Randy Wolff, Micron Technology Yes
- Todd Westerhoff, SiSoft Yes
- The vote passed
AR: Ambrish send draft AMI BIRD 1.0 for Mike to post on web site
AR: Hemant will publish an open source reference model by Jul 17
AMI BIRD draft document format:
- The IBIS committee normally accepts BIRDs in plain TXT format.
- The document will be in DOC format for now.
- Todd suggested that materials from recent summit presentations could be
integrated into the document.
- Bob said we should not go too far with this until we know what the IBIS
committee will accept.
- Todd said it can be converted to TXT easily.
- Walter said that pictures are extremely useful though.
AR: Ambrish include page numbers in AMI BIRD footer and revision table
When will our next meeting be?
- Walter suggested that the group could still meet, but we should start
talking about our next project.
- Todd suggested we should evaluate Jul 9 whether to have a Jul 10 meeting.
- Arpad may be travelling on the 10th
Next meeting: 10 July 2007 12:00pm PT
