ISSUE 532

Add Proposal  Add Analysis  Edit Class, Environment, or Release
Number 532
Category enhancement
Synopsis new, binary dump format in addition to vcd
State open
Class enhancement
Arrival-DateJan 27 2004
Originator Shalom Bresticker <Shalom.Bresticker@motorola.com>
Release 2001b: 18
Description
As is well known, good old VCD, because it is ASCII-based, creates very large
files, even when compressed.

I propose we define or, more likely, solicit invitations for, a new, additional
format binary-based which will be standard,
instead of the multitude of incompatible standards currently existing.

This is the time, as the current formats need to be extended anyway in order to
support extensions such as SystemVerilog.

I meant "donations", of course.
