SAN FRANCISCO — Sun Microsystems Inc.'s Shrenik Mehta and Mentor Graphics Corp.'s Dennis Brophy have been re-elected to their positions of chair and vice-chair, respectively, by the board of directors of EDA standards body Accellera, the organization said Tuesday (Oct. 3).
Karen Bartleson, director of interoperability at Synopsys Inc., was re-elected secretary, Accellera (Napa, Calif.) said.
Victor Berman, group director of language standards at Cadence Design Systems Inc., was elected treasurer, Accellera said.
"I am again honored to be elected chair for a second term and to be part of the group that defines and delivers standards that benefit the worldwide electronics industry," Mehta said.
Accellera said it plans to focus on supporting eight standards in the coming year, including the VHDL standard and the new Open Compression Interface (OCI) test standard, both recently transferred to the IEEE. The organization said it would continue to support the SystemVerilog language standard (also known as IEEE Std P1800) and Property Specification Language (PSL) standard (also known as IEEE Std 1850-2005).
Accellera said its place include further development of its Interface Technology or SCE-API (Standard Co-Emulation Applications Programming Interface), Open Verification Library (OVL) and Analog Mixed Signal (AMS) standards, as well as efforts to define a Unified Power Format (UPF) standard.
