Press Release
CSIP JOINS OCP-IP
PORTLAND, ORE. — May 24, 2005 — Open Core Protocol
International Partnership (OCP-IP) announces that the Software and
Integrated Circuit Promotion Center (CSIP) has joined the organization. CSIP
is a public service organization guided and supported by the Chinese
government to assist enterprises to solve common problems to accelerate the
formation of the software and IC industry chain.
CSIP utilizes government finance and technology assets to efficiently link
domestic and international resources for improved business expansion.
Through the national SIP library CSIP provides many IP services such as: IP
search, verification, evaluation, consultation, IP business and other
development.
“We have seen tremendous support throughout all of Asia and our
collaboration with CSIP allows us to communicate to both memberships and
thus better serve industry interests as a whole,” said Ian Mackintosh,
president OCP-IP. “We look forward to working with CSIP more depth in the
near future.“
“Collaboration between CSIP and OCP-IP provides more chances for local IP
industries to keep up with the trend of IP development, ”said Xuejun Xie,
deputy general Manager of CSIP. “CSIP is willing to work with OCP-IP as we
see growing demand for quickly integrated IP verified in multiple SoC
Designs.”
OCP-IP members receive free training, support, software tools, and
documentation. This infrastructure allows IP and EDA vendors to eliminate
the need to internally design, document, train and evolve a proprietary
standard and set of support tools. This enables IP and EDA vendors to focus
their efforts and resources on the challenges of developing IP that can be
quickly integrated and easily verified in a wide variety of SoC designs. As
a result, IC design teams can dedicate their critical resources to the
design and delivery of products.
