Semico IMPACT Conference: Who Wins in the IP Ecosystem?

Phoenix, Arizona January 31, 2012 - SoC designers today are faced with a whole range of issues and questions that must be dealt with before they reach a final silicon solution. The pursuit of a successful resolution to these questions and issues is becoming ever more difficult. In classic fashion, a vibrant ecosystem has grown up around the SoC design community in an effort to provide solutions and answers to SoC designers. The importance of the ecosystem grows with every passing year and process node.

Semico Research is hosting a one-day event in San Jose on May 16, 2012 to address these issues and others.

The panel, "Who Wins in the IP Ecosystem?" will explore these topics:
• What are the prospects for continued health of the IP Ecosystem?
• How interconnected are the different parts of the IP Ecosystem and what is their impact on SoC design efforts?
• What EDA tools aid in complex SoC design efforts?
• What IP vendors and IP blocks are critical to the IP Ecosystem and SoC design efforts?
• Have the silicon foundries aided the IP Ecosystem? Are they doing enough? And what role are they playing in the future?
• Who drives the IP Ecosystem - Large IDMs, IP vendors, Silicon foundries, SoC designers, EDA Tool vendors, Fabless Semiconductor companies?

Today, the IP Ecosystem takes many forms and has many faces. This informative panel will discuss these questions and more in an effort to illuminate what's working and what's not in the SoC design effort.

Semico's Impact Conference will be held on May 16th, 2012 at the San Jose Doubletree Hotel. A series of keynotes and two panels will cover the semiconductor IP ecosystem. Contact us now to secure your seat at this ground-breaking conference!
