IPextreme to Accelerate Power Architecture Adoption by Making Valuable Member IP Widely Available.MONTEREY, Calif. -- IPextreme Inc, a value-added reseller A value-added reseller (VAR) is a company that adds some feature(s) to an existing product(s), then resells it (usually to end-users) as an integrated product or complete "turn-key" solution. of semiconductor intellectual property (IP), is working with Power.org to accelerate the adoption of the Power Architecture(TM) by making important member IP available. Power.org's mission is to develop, enable and promote the Power Architecture as the preferred open standard hardware development platform for the electronics industry, and IPextreme will assist by enabling key member technology to benefit the broader semiconductor design community. Today's high-volume System-on-Chip (SOC) devices are created by assembling large pre-existing functional blocks of IP, often from outside the company. Power.org members can complete SOC devices much faster if they can take advantage of high-value, silicon-proven IP that other members have already completed -- but until now there was no easy mechanism for them to do so. IPextreme will upgrade key designs into commercially viable IP, license that IP and most importantly Adv. 1. most importantly - above and beyond all other consideration; "above all, you must be independent" above all, most especially provide the support necessary for its successful integration. Juan Antonio Carballo, partner in the IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) venture capital group, commented, "I'm excited to have a new VC-backed Power.org member, IPextreme, as their business offering may contribute to accelerate Power-based SOC design. Power is becoming a disruptive play in the semiconductor market with its enormous flexibility ranging from consumer gaming devices to high-end supercomputers, together with its world-class venture capital community participation."
