OSCI Celebrates 10-Year Anniversary

In 1999, 35 EDA companies formed a coalition to create an "open-source C++ 'modeling platform'" to allow hardware, software and systems design that set the stage for a new era in electronics design. Ten years later, they have realized their goal and more -- with the approval of IEEE Std. 1666-2005(tm), "Standard for SystemC," and the release of the transaction-level modeling standard, TLM-2.0 as well as other advancements made by OSCI's technical working groups. The industry has joined together to applaud OSCI and several quotes from technical leaders are featured in a press release celebrating OSCI's decade of technical leadership. We invite you read what the industry has to say and share your thoughts on OSCI and SystemC in one of our industry forums. We look forward to another 10 years of service!

Featured Quote

"SystemC is the standard for electronic system-level design. OSCI is the driving force behind the technical development and the worldwide promotion of SystemC. OSCI brings together real-world requirements and solutions from different domains like the semiconductor industry, EDA companies, and academic research. OSCI's professional organization with powerful working groups focus on sustainable and flexible solutions for ESL design, like TLM-2.0. The open source foundation of SystemC - the IEEE1666 standard - and OSCI's concept for its future development form a very strong ecosystem especially for industrial users. The European SystemC User's Group congratulates OSCI on its 10th anniversary and wishes all the best. We are looking forward to continuing our fruitful cooperation." -- Professor Wolfgang Rosenstiel, European SystemC User's Group (ESCUG)... More »
