Design platforms for fast and reliable integrated electronic system design is the key challenge for coping with severe time to market constraints. A design platform is an environment aiming at providing an ultra fast and safe track from specifications to silicon. Providing efficient libraries up to IPs is a key factor of success. Therefore D&R, in this section, brings to the market comprehensive information about IP based platforms. Most of the players in integrated electronic system ranging from ASSP, programmable devices or Asic vendors, IDM, design houses, EDA vendors, etc.. have captured this need and strongly contribute to provide such IP based platforms while emphasizing specific features related to their skills. Among these players let us mention the processor core providers offering ASIC platforms incorporating strong support for their processor and bus, the EDA vendors providing design flow oriented platforms for which design, verification ,block assembling are greatly facilitated, Fabless solution providers delivering their skills in specific areas through optimized IPs portfolios and last but not least IDMs for which the announcement of advanced technology captive IP libraries is the best diffentiator with respect to the competition . This corner is therefore dedicated to these dynamic new players in the IP business and D&R is glad to give comprehensive data on the available structured ASIC platform
