The award will be presented during the Accellera-sponsored luncheon at DVCon U.S. 2024 on March 4. Mr. Bresticker has been an electronics engineer for 30 years and more recently a technical editor for nearly a decade. He is currently helping to document Accellera’s UVM-MS standard. He recently completed documentation for Accellera’s Portable Stimulus standard and the IEEE’s Std 1800-2023 SystemVerilog Language Reference Manual. He was awarded the Accellera Technical Excellence Award in 2010 for his contributions to the Verilog, SystemVerilog, Verilog-AMS and OVL standards. “Shalom has been an invaluable contributor to the development of Accellera standards,” stated Lu Dai, Accellera Chair. “His breadth of knowledge and expertise dissecting the crucial elements so that they are clear is incredibly beneficial to users of the standards. He painstakingly reviews hundreds of pages, fixing errors along the way. We have benefited from his skills for years and are grateful for his contributions to Accellera. We are thrilled to bestow Accellera’s first Distinguished Service Award to Shalom.” “I am honored to receive this prestigious award from Accellera,” commented Mr. Bresticker, “I have been privileged to work together for many years with wonderful and talented people to contribute to society through the development of EDA standards used by people all over the world.” Mr. Bresticker was the technical editor for the 2005 IEEE Verilog standard, the 2017 and 2023 IEEE SystemVerilog standards, and the Accellera Portable Stimulus 1.0a, 2.0, and 2.1 standards. He has been an active member of the IEEE P802.4, P1364, and P1800 standards committees and the Accellera Portable Stimulus Working Group. He also participated in the IEEE P1364.1 standards committee and the Accellera OVL and Verilog-AMS working groups. Mr. Bresticker was awarded the Technical Committee Award at the 2008 SNUG Boston conference. He was awarded a Lady Davis Fellowship to attend Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, where he received his master’s degree in electrical engineering. Mr. Bresticker’s bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and computer science is from Princeton University.
