SCE-API Members Announce First Version of Common Emulation API Now Publicly Available Through Open SystemC
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 24, 2001--Today the
SCE-API consortium announced the availability of the specification for
a ``common emulation applications programming interface'' on the Open
SystemC web site at http://www.systemc.org.
The SCE-API Version 1.0 document and two SystemC-based examples of
its use are included in the posting.
The formation of the SCE-API consortium was publicly announced in
February. The founding members of the consortium are Aptix
Corporation, CoWare, IKOS Systems, Mentor Graphics Corporation,
STMicroelectronics, Synopsys, and TransEDA.
The groundbreaking interface allows third parties and emulation
vendors to use a common interface for connecting 3rd party tools and
proprietary software solutions to all emulators that support the
interface.
SCE-API Version 1.0 is based on transaction interface technology
donated to the consortium by IKOS Systems. The result is a standard
modeling interface for emulators which provides multiple
message-passing channels between software models running on a host
workstation and RTL models running in an emulator.
In addition to making the interface available through the Open
SystemC Initiative (OSCI) the Consortium is also in discussions with
Accellera, and hopes to move SCE-API under the standards
organization's umbrella soon.
