and IP for networking, computing, automotive and industrial markets. CréVinn
has been instrumental in developing pioneering ASICs and IP cores for market
leading products including: layer-N switches, gigabit and 10 gigabit
ethernet controllers, hardware accelerators for network processing tasks
such as TOE, encryption and wireless cores, and high-speed interprocessor
bus switches.
The École du Génie
Maritime, founded in 1741, merged with four other schools in 1970 to
become ENSTA. ENSTA has become
one of the top 10 institutes of higher education for engineering in France.
Situated in Paris, ENSTA offers high-level training in science and
engineering along with excellent research facilities.
Princeton University was chartered
in 1746 as the College of New Jersey, British North America's fourth
college. Today, Princeton is a leading research university. As a
research university, it achieves the highest levels of distinction in the
discovery and transmission of knowledge and understanding, and in the
education of graduate students. At the same time, Princeton is distinctive
among research universities in its commitment to undergraduate teaching.
Silicon
Image, Inc. is a leader in the secure distribution, presentation and
storage of high-definition content. Silicon Image offers robust,
high-bandwidth semiconductors in the global PC/display, consumer electronics
and storage arenas based on its innovative digital interconnect technology.
The company broadens market adoption of the DVI, HDMI, and SATA interfaces
by licensing its proven intellectual property (IP) cores to companies
providing advanced system-on-a-chip (SoC) solutions that incorporate these
interfaces.
Tata Elxsi is the technology arm of the
$ multi-billion Tata Group, headquartered in Bangalore, focused on

services and technology development solutions to customers worldwide. It's
business divisions include, Product Design Services, Innovation Design
Engineering, Systems Integration, Visual Computing Labs.
OCP-IP members receive free training and support,
software tools, and documentation, enabling them to focus on the challenges
of SoC design. Leveraging OCP-IP’s infrastructure eliminates the need to
internally design, document, train and evolve a proprietary standard and
accompanying support tools, freeing up critical resources for the real
design work, while providing enormous cost savings.
“This new group of members represents a diverse
set of product offerings, and highlights the broad OCP acceptance and
adoption across many markets,” said Ian Mackintosh, president of
OCP-IP. “We are very proud to announce and welcome our new members,
