OCP-IP Unveils Industry Organizations Comparison
Chart
BEAVERTON, OR - September 30, 2008 - Open Core Protocol International Partnership (OCP-IP) today announced the release of an Industry Organizations Comparison Chart. The chart enables viewers to quickly and easily understand the large and growing scope of benefits, activities and deliverables available from multiple industry bodies throughout the EDA, Semiconductor and IP landscape from a single source.
"OCP-IP frequently receives questions from both members and non-members alike about the various roles played in the industry by multiple industry bodies, why companies often need to be members of several organizations rather than just one, how these organizations collaborate, differences in focus areas, etc." said Ian Mackintosh, president and chairman OCP-IP. "To help dispel the existing confusion, we developed a chart showing various groups, their focus areas, organizational structures, benefits, membership procedures, as well as numerous other important and differentiating facts."
The chart allows viewers to see information from each group side by side to compare and contrast their diverse areas of focus and benefits of membership. It includes summary information kindly contributed by: Accellera, Design and Reuse (D&R) European Electronic Chips and Systems Design Initiative (ECSI), EDA Consortium (EDAC), Nexus Consortium, Open Core Protocol International Partnership (OCP-IP), Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI), and the SPIRIT Consortium.
