Design & Reuse Joins EDTN Network; Announces Expanded Catalog Pages and IP Selector.MANHASSET, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 22, 1998--Design and Reuse, a Web site devoted to the exchange of information about intellectual property used in system-on-chip design, has joined CMP CMP (cytidine monophosphate): see cytosine. (1) (CMP Media LLC, Manhasset, NY, www.cmp.com) Part of United Business Media, CMP is a leading integrated media company that offers a wide variety of publications and services in the information Media's EDTN EDTN Edition EDTN Electronics Design & Technology Network EDTN The Electronics Design, Technology and News Network (Electronic Design, Technology & News) Network (http://www.edtn.com) as a network partner. The deal brings together the largest online catalog Similar to an online library or databases in the information storage respect, ‘’’online catalogs’’’ allow potential customers to browse a company’s items for sale from a different location using the internet. of virtual components with the electronics industry's premier online community. At last week's Design Automation Conference in San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden , Design and Reuse also announced it has expanded its catalog with two new sections: embedded software Instructions that permanently reside in a ROM or flash memory chip. Embedded software may be immediately available to the CPU or, for faster execution, may be transferred to RAM first and then executed. modules and intellectual property services. The first lists available software modules needed by intellectual property designers or, more generally, embedded system Any electronic system that uses a CPU chip, but that is not a general-purpose workstation, desktop or laptop computer. Such systems generally use microprocessors, or they may use custom-designed chips or both. designers; the second provides guidance to IP services that enable or facilitate IP design, verification, testing, commerce, etc. "Like our original yellow pages devoted to intellectual property listings, these new services are designed to guideusers of intellectual property in their search for products and services that support the design of integrated circuits, ASICs, FPGAs and other programmable logic devices," said Gabriele Saucier
A Saucier [sosˈje] , President of Design and Reuse. The Design and Reuse Virtual Component Catalog now features more than 1,300 individual intellectual property entries in its IP yellow pages, the largest such database of IP currently available. By joining the EDTN Network, this fast-growing information resource will be exposed to a large group of registered users on a network that includes such popular news services as EE Times Online, Electronic Buyer's News Online, Semiconductor Business News, the Design Center and subscriber supported services like Aspect Development's IC Selector. "The addition of Design and Reuse is an important step in our efforts to make the EDTN Network the first stop for electronics design, procurement and business professionals seeking information on the web. D&R has a wealth of information on the fast-developing virtual component sector, and has a track record for the quick innovation and flexibility needed in an emerging business like intellectual property," said Girish Mhatre, Vice President and Group Publisher of CMP Media's OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and Group. Design and Reuse and the EDTN Network also announced the creation of IP Selector, a mechanism for downloading detailed IP information via the Internet. To demonstrate the capabilities of IP Selector, Design and Reuse announced that it will allow users to download its Triple Data Encryption core, a fully synthesizable VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) A hardware description language (HDL) used to design electronic systems at the component, board and system level. VHDL allows models to be developed at a very high level of abstraction. , RTL (Register Transfer Level) A high-level hardware description language (HDL) for defining digital circuits. The circuits are described as a collection of registers, Boolean equations, control logic such as "if-then-else" statements as well as complex event sequences; description of the DES algorithm at no charge. "Free IP? Some people think we're nuts," said Saucier, "But we aim to show that a user can obtain all the necessary data and files from our site by giving away this valuable piece of IP." The core is synthesizable on any target and is demonstrated on an Altera Flex10K device. Under the network partner agreement, the EDTN Network will market and sell online sponsorships on behalf of Design and Reuse, administer sponsor advertising and user traffic systems, and promote the site as part of its network. Design and Reuse will continue to augment and refine its online catalog and develop additional online products in conjunction with the EDTN Network.
