Conference Sponsor

Accellera

Accellera, the sponsor of DVCon, celebrates its 10 years of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and Intellectual Property (IP) standards development at DVCon 2010.

Since the organization was formed through the unification of Open Verilog International and VHDL International, Accellera has delivered on its promises to focus on identifying new standards, to develop standards and to foster the adoption of new methodologies, resulting in many widely adopted EDA standards that have been transferred to and ratified by the IEEE. On June 11, 2009, Accellera announced a merger with The SPIRIT Consortium to further extend the development of its EDA standards to IP deployment and reuse.

Accellera's mission is to drive the worldwide development and use of standards required by systems, semiconductor and design tools companies, which enhance a language-based design automation process. Its Board guides all the operations and activities of the organization, and is comprised of representatives from ASIC manufacturers, systems companies and design tool vendors.

Technical Committees

Accellera Technical Committees (TC) develops, updates and extends EDA and IP standards. Accellera supports the activities of IEEE working groups and cooperates with other EDA industry standards groups.

EDA and IP standards that are under active development include: SystemRDL™ (Register Description Language), IPtagging, Interface Technical Committee (ITC), Open Verification Library (OVL), Unified Coverage Interoperability (UCI), Verilog Analog/Mixed Signal (AMS), Verification IP (VIP) and IP-XACT™.
