Accellera Board Approves PSS 3.0
The Portable Test and Stimulus Standard (PSS) 3.0 has been approved for immediate release. PSS 3.0 adds many new features, corrects errors, clarifies aspects of the language and semantic definitions, and much more. The most substantial feature added to PSS 3.0 is support for behavioral coverage where several scenarios can be generated from a single PSS specification.
Additional information and resources can be found on the Portable Stimulus Working Group page.
Members of the Portable Stimulus Working Group presented a tutorial titled “Efficient Portable Programming-Sequence Development with PSS” during DVCon U.S. 2024. The tutorial is divided into sections that include what portable stimulus is, the motivation behind the standard, developing reusable test content at the block level, sub-system and SoC-level testing with PSS, and post-silicon testing with PSS.
The charter of Accellera’s new Federated Simulation Standard (FSS) Working Group is to establish cross-industry collaboration to improve the interoperability of product and environment simulation, models, and components using existing and new open standards. For those that are not currently Accellera members but are interested in learning more about the various projects within the community and the standardization efforts within the FSS WG, Accellera has established the Federated Simulation User Group.
For information regarding the Federated Simulation User Group, including upcoming meetings, view this presentation. Visit the Federated Simulation Standard Working Group page for more information about the FSS WG.
