OCP International Partnership (OCP-IP)
OCP 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 www.ocpip.org.

Sequence Design, Inc
Sequence Design's Design For Power (DFP) solutions accelerate the ability of SoC designers to bring high-performance, power-aware ICs quickly to market. Sequence's power and signal-integrity software give customers the competitive advantage necessary to excel in aggressive technology markets. Sequence is an active participant in industry organizations advancing low-power design technologies such as the Power Forward Initiative and holds a seat on the board of Si2.

The SPIRIT Consortium
The SPIRIT Consortium supplies, and will further develop, specifications that enable increased design automation for IP re-use methodologies built on multi-vendor tool flows. This is achieved through unifying ways to describe and provide IP to enable rapid import into tools, automated design configuration and integration, and consistent architectural design refinement from system-level design through to chip layout. By adhering to the specifications, IP suppliers will be able to target their designs automatically to multiple tools, tool vendors will have the ability to rapidly import IP-libraries and designs, and systems-on-chip designers will be able to develop complex 'first-time-right' designs on multi-vendor tool and IP flows customized to their specific needs.

Springsoft, Inc
Springsoft, Inc. is a global supplier of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software to the semiconductor and electronic systems industries. SpringSoft's unique automation technologies save engineers time at key pain points in the design and verification of complex digital, analog and mixed-signal ICs, ASICs, microprocessors, and SoCs.

Synopsys, Inc.
Synopsys, Inc. is a world leader in delivering semiconductor design software, intellectual property (IP), design for manufacturing (DFM) solutions and professional services that companies use to design systems-on-chips (SoCs) and electronic systems. The company's products enable semiconductor, manufacturing, computer, communications, consumer electronics and other companies that develop electronic products to improve performance, increase productivity and achieve predictable success from systems to silicon.

Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI)
SystemC provides hardware-oriented constructs within the context of C++ as a class library implemented in standard C++. Its use spans design and verification from concept to implementation in hardware and software. SystemC provides an interoperable modeling platform which enables the development and exchange of very fast system-level C++ models. It also provides a stable platform for development of system-level tools.

The Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI) is an independent not-for-profit organization composed of a broad range of companies, universities and individuals dedicated to supporting and advancing SystemC as an open source standard for system-level design.
