Si2 and Accellera Announce Low Power Standards Workshop; October 5, SEMI Headquarters, San Jose, California.
WHO: Accellera, the electronics industry organization focused on
language-based design standards, and the Silicon Integration
Initiative (Si2), an organization focused on improving the way
integrated circuits are designed and manufactured invite the
industry to a Low Power Standards Workshop.
WHEN: Thursday, October 5, 2006, 8:30am - 5:30pm
WHERE: SEMI Headquarters, 3081 Zanker Road, San Jose, CA, 95134
Registration and Information: The Workshop is open to all interested parties. There is no entry fee. For more information visit http://www.accellera.org/events/Low_Power_Workshop.pdf. To register, please send an email to wbayer@si2.org For more information and to register, please visit or send an email to wbayer@si2.org. About the Workshop: Low power design has been identified as a critical area for design flow improvement in the 65nm processes and beyond. This workshop, lasting a day, is intended to serve as an open forum for key contributors from 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 end-user companies to identify the critical needs in the area of low power design, verification, and analysis of 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 chips. The goal is to first assimilate as·sim·i·late v. 1. To consume and incorporate nutrients into the body after digestion. 2. To transform food into living tissue by the process of anabolism. requirements from a varied group of presenters from end-user design companies representing requirements to satisfy the needs of microprocessor, SoC and AMS AMS - Andrew Message System (analog, mixed signal) chip designs. Subsequent discussions will be held among the participants at the workshop to enlist the work content and responsibilities, and to identify the specific areas (language extensions, library standards, design constraints, flow interfaces, etc.) where standards need to be created or extended to enable an open environment for more advanced low power design flows and capabilities. About Accellera Accellera provides design and verification standards for quick availability and use in the electronics industry. The organization and its members cooperatively deliver much-needed EDA standards that lower the cost of designing commercial IC and EDA products. As a result of Accellera's partnership with the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. , Accellera standards are provided to the IEEE standards body for formalization for·mal·ize tr.v. for·mal·ized, for·mal·iz·ing, for·mal·iz·es 1. To give a definite form or shape to. 2. a. To make formal. b. and ongoing change control. Over the years, Accellera has developed eight standards that have been ratified rat·i·fy tr.v. rat·i·fied, rat·i·fy·ing, rat·i·fies To approve and give formal sanction to; confirm.

PSL - Portable Standard Lisp. 2. PSL - Problem Statement Language. See PSL/PSA. ). For more information about Accellera, please visit www.accellera.org. About Si2 Si2 is an organization of industry-leading semiconductor, systems, EDA 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.
