Open
SystemC Initiative (OSCI) |
| |
| |
Founded in 1998, OSCI is an
independent not-for-profit open standard organization
who defines SystemC, a C++ based system level description
language to be used in the Electronic System Level (ESL)
design methodology. OSCI had made SystemC v2.1 the IEEE
Standard 1666 in the year 2005. SpringSoft joined OSCI
in May 2006 as one of the 33 members and is actively involved
in Language WG, TLM WG, Synthesis WG and Verification
WG. |

Accellera was formed in 2000
through the unification of Open Verilog International
and VHDL International to focus on identifying new standards,
development of standards and formats, and to foster the
adoption of new methodologies. Accellera's mission is
to drive worldwide development and use of standards required
by systems, semiconductor and design tools companies,
which enhance a language-based design automation process. |

Taiwan
Semiconductor Industry Association |

The Taiwan Semiconductor Industry
Association (TSIA) was founded in 1996 as a private-sector
organization with the mission of ��supporting the development
of the industry��. The TSIA hopes that its activities can
help the industry build a consensus for future developments
so the industry can grow through cooperation in competition.
Springsoft is a member of the TSIA' s IC Design Committee
and has provided its valuable experience on a long-term
basis. This helps the TSIA bring the industry together
and strengthen the competitive advantages of Taiwan' s
IC design industry.
Up until April 2007, the 140-plus members of the TSIA
included companies from the R&D, Design, Manufacturing,
Packaging, Testing, Hardware and Materials sectors. The
TSIA regularly hosts conferences in Taiwan and supports
the organizing of large international conferences such
as ISS Taiwan and SEMICON Taiwan. The TSIA has also worked
actively on establishing contacts between the domestic
industry and related international organizations by being
involved in international initiatives such as the WSC
and ITRS. These have all helped to take Taiwan' s semiconductor
industry to the international stage. |

CP International Partnership
(OCP-IP) is a non-profit semiconductor industry consortium
formed to administer the support, promotion and enhancement
of the Open Core Protocol (OCP) specification. OCP is
the only fully supported, openly licensed, complete interface
socket for intellectual property (IP) cores. OCP addresses
design, verification and testing issues common to IP core
reuse in "plug-and-play" system-on-chip (SOC)
products. Additional information is available at
