Portable Stimulus

Currently there is no single standard way to specify intent and behavior that is reusable across target platforms (e.g., emulation, silicon, simulation, etc.). With the proposed Portable Stimulus standard, user companies will be able to specify the behaviors once, from which multiple implementations may be derived.

With a single specification, user companies will be able to select the best tool(s) from competing vendors to achieve the best results for their desired target platform.

The initial scope for the Portable Stimulus Working Group is to define a portable test and stimulus specification language that can be used to generate stimulus for multiple target implementations.
