Documentation on design automation subjects - The Bird's-eye View of Design Languages (BVDL)

IEC/TR 62856:2013 describes features for existing design languages, as well as for enhancing and newly developing design languages belonging to the defined design processes of System on a chip (SoC) which ranges from system level design, SoC design implementation and verification, IP block creation and analog block design down to interface data preparation for manufacturing. Thirty-three design languages have been chosen and each feature of their latest version as of March 2011 is reflected in this report:
UML, Esterel, Rosetta, SystemC, SystemC-AMS, IBIS, CITI, TouchStone, BSDL, System Verilog, VHDL, Verilog HDL, UPF, CPF, e language, PSL, FSDB, SDC, DEF, Open Access, SDF, GDS II, OASIS, STIL, WGL, Verilog-A, Verilog-AMS, SPICE, VHDL-AMS, LEF, Liberty, CDL and IP-XACT.

Documentation sur les sujets concernant l'automatisation de la conception - Langages BVDL (Bird's-eye View of Design Languages)

La CEI/TR 62856:2013 décrit des caractéristiques pour des langages de conception existants, ainsi que pour améliorer et renouveler des langages de conception qui appartiennent aux processus de conception définis du Système sur puce (SoC) allant de la conception au niveau système, de la mise en oeuvre et de la vérification SoC, de la création de bloc IP et de la conception de bloc analogique jusqu'à la préparation des données d'interface pour la fabrication. Trente-trois langages de conception sont choisis et la dernière version de chaque langage est reprise dans le présent rapport, à la date de mars 2011:
UML, Esterel, Rosetta, SystemC, SystemC-AMS, IBIS, CITI, TouchStone, BSDL, System Verilog, VHDL, Verilog HDL, UPF, CPF, e language, PSL, FSDB, SDC, DEF, Open Access, SDF, GDS II, OASIS, STIL, WGL, Verilog-A, Verilog-AMS, SPICE, VHDL-AMS, LEF, Liberty, CDL et IP-XACT.

DOCUMENTATION ON DESIGN AUTOMATION SUBJECTS –
THE BIRD’S-EYE VIEW OF DESIGN LANGUAGES (BVDL)

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in
addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses
arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a
technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected data
of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for
example "state of the art".
IEC 62856, which is a technical report, has been prepared by IEC technical committee 91:

The text of this technical report is based on the following documents:

Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical report can be found in the report
on voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
