WW38 2023 System Studio Virtual Team Meeting

Teams Share-point Link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3abK0MGqmIvfKBfMR0B2-vLgbbqj1_0Jd2fdZ5fjSXCXM1%40thread.tacv2/conversations?groupId=090e4e92-779d-4ce2-a052-003585d76094&tenantId=46c98d88-e344-4ed4-8496-4ed7712e255d

Opens

*       IP agreement: SNPS/Intel, will some of these IPs have intersection with System Studio work
*       Bala: challenges in *NDA world (with Tensillica and *pcode - proprietary) in terms of EDA test-case sharing
*       Bala: lot of push coming to shift-left: be aware of this; all FW/SW coded at PC time

   *    Can we tap-into folks ...
   *    Is there an opportunity to 'describe them' and make it part of enablement (Bala can introduce)

   EDA Vendor Engagement Debrief / Update and Next Steps

*       SNPS

   *     20239015_PA-3DICC-PoC-Example.pdf<https://intel.sharepoint.com/:b:/r/sites/systemsstudiotslrp/Shared%20Documents/General/DEVELOPMENT/20239015_PA-3DICC-PoC-Example.pdf?csf=1&web=1&e=CR8f9l>
   *    SNPS has proposed to do a POC (their resources) using PA (Platform Architect) and 3DICC (3DIC Compiler)
   *    Studio concepts: like language, IR ... how much of that will be exercised, is unclear
   *    They are interested in collaborating with Intel on our Pilot as well

*       CDNS

   *    They are interested in digging into more, work-flow, prior to committing next steps in terms of Pilot and/or development
   *    Satish and Vivek will continue to meet (bi-weekly) with CDNS architects (Guru + Pinhong)

*       Ansys

   *    Kicked-off initial meeting. Went well. For all things multi-physics related, they are interested - that is their portfolio
   *    Ansys has already started an API approach for all their engines: https://docs.pyansys.com/version/stable/
   *    It is Python based and fits well into API approach for engine integration
   *    Awaiting next-steps feedback and engagement with Ansys

*       JITX

   *    They have released Python integrated with JITX
   *    Allows to call Python apps, API from within JITX, it is bi-directional API. Can call Python API and get results (like serialized JSON objects)
   *    They are writing-up a document for POC of components using JITX software. They would need $$$ budget for co-development

*       Mentor/Siemens

   *    We have not engaged yet with
   *    Do we do anything here ... ?

*       Matlab / Simulink

   *    They do have multi-disciplinary modeling capabilities
   *    Can we do it in Simulink? System Composer
   *    IOT customers use these tools; embedded systems use their tools

*       Need to figure out how we balance all of the investment, given virtual team and yet being inclusive to all EDA portfolio

Next steps in terms of bring-up of SRF POC

*       This is our framework for POC of studio concepts:  SW ARCH System Studio.pptx<https://intel.sharepoint.com/:p:/r/sites/systemsstudiotslrp/Shared%20Documents/General/DEVELOPMENT/SW%20ARCH%20System%20Studio.pptx?d=w57a7d207381d42f4acbab967bec8d52e&csf=1&web=1&e=KIKmlV>
*       Have collected early power, floorplan, RTL data
*       Cost Model:

   *    Have API map and data-break down from Abe, see below

*       Thermal Model:

   *    Reached out to Nick Neal on data and API needs for Thermal feedback

*       PnP Model

   *    Kicking-off discussion later this afternoon, with Nanda, Dan Tsunami, Giri and Vivek
   *    What is needed, how to go about modeling: likely need SystemC models, others?

*       Other inputs, partners (with bandwidth) to help ?
*       Invite: Harshal J for CoFluent/Simics demo

Topics for WW39

*       ToolMap Next steps, group by common functions / needs / operations - Satish Surana
*       IFS mapping for System/Chiplet Studio - Werner
