Common Power Format 1.0 Released by Si2's Low Power Coalition.Specification publicly available at no charge AUSTIN, Texas -- In a significant step forward for the Low Power Coalition, today the Common Power Format 1.0 (CPF (Control Program Facility) The IBM System/38 operating system that included an integrated relational DBMS. ) has completed the legal exclusionary review period, and is now available at Si2's OpenEDA.si2.org web site at no cost for everyone to download and use. CPF is a new design specification language that addresses the limitation in traditional design automation tool flows by capturing the designer's intent for power management and enabling the automation of advanced power-lowering design techniques. The Common Power Format enables all design, verification, implementation -- and technology-related power objectives to be captured in a single file and allows the application of that data across the design flow, providing a consistent reference point for design development and production. Download instructions, along with an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) A group of commonly asked questions about a subject along with the answers. Vendors often display them on their Web sites for use as troubleshooting guidelines. with important details on this process, as well as more information on the LPC (language) LPC - A variant of C designed ca 1988 to program LP MUDs. is located at this link: http://www.si2.org/?page=811. In joining the LPC, members mutually agreed to an Intellectual Property Policy that ensures that contributors, participants, and adopters all have mutually-assured safety from latent Hidden; concealed; that which does not appear upon the face of an item. For example, a latent defect in the title to a parcel of real property is one that is not discoverable by an inspection of the title made with ordinary care. patent or royalty surprises. To achieve this, LPC members commit to make known their position with respect to reasonable and non-discriminatory licensing of all necessary patents in any specification developed by the LPC. A "safety" period is provided before any specification is adopted by Si2 to allow full disclosure of any patent positions that may apply. The initial version of CPF, version 1.0, has completed its patent safety period as of March 4th. Steve Schulz, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , Si2 says "Today's public release of the CPF 1.0 specification opens this proven technology to the entire industry for broad adoption. The LPC members will now use this as a basis for upcoming enhancements in alignment with the LPC's overall roadmap for new capabilities." About the Low Power Coalition (LPC) The Low-Power Coalition (LPC) will deliver enhanced capabilities in low-power Integrated Circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for (IC) design flows in particular relating to relating to relate prep → concernant relating to relate prep → bezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc specifications of low-power design intent, architectural tradeoffs, logical/physical implementation, design verification and testability. The latest list of LPC members can be found at: http://www.si2.org/?page=751. About Si2 Si2 is an organization of industry-leading semiconductor, systems, EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. , and manufacturing companies focused on improving the way integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. are designed and manufactured in order to speed time to market, reduce costs, and meet the challenges of sub-micron design. Si2 is uniquely positioned to enable collaboration through a strong implementation focus driven by its member companies. Si2 focuses on developing practical technology solutions to industry challenges. Si2 represents over 100 companies involved in all parts of the silicon supply chain throughout the world.
