1. Welcome to our new partners Welcome to our new partners : 2. IP/SOC Market Watch Report and a Good news The D&R IP market activity reports (Quarterly IP /SOC Market Watch) based on D&R web site activity is highly appreciated by the market. These information are very important for analyzing the market needs and the success of some IP offers. Up to now and for the 7 last years D&R is releasing this report to the D&R partners only, who, by the way, are mainly the IP providers themselves. We feel that by doing so we are not exactly filling the market need as the user badly need also this type of information. Therefore D&R is happy to proceed to an exceptional Free Download of the IP Market Watch of Q2, 2004 and opens a subscription on a corporate basis for the 4 next issues. Please click here to download the order form. 3. Hot corner on IP based Asic platformsA special hot corner on Design Platform is opening this week targeting 4 categories of platforms
The platform listing is linked to a private IP catalogs under the control of the platform owners and they can receive confidential data. It is important to put in place efficient automated “Bulk upload” primitives for importing accurate IP data. At least D&R needs to get the provider help for declaring an IP compliant with a platform if not yet done Other categories will be extended and for Core Centric platforms relevant information about complementary aspects such as design flow and other resources (Design Kits, Embedded Software libraries) will be publicized and updated in a close future Please contact us if you wish to see your IP based ASIC platform publicized and/or your private catalogs of compliant IPs linked to it. 4. Foundry Corner and accurate dataUnder the sponsorship of Tower Semiconductor the Foundry Corner is going to a new active phase. To guarantee accurate, certified data D&R is pushing private Foundry catalogs, under the control this time of the Foundry itself . Similarly to the platform vendors the Foundries are invited to feed in the data (namely their ratings ) in their private catalog for their qualified IPs by an automated “ Bulk upload process”. Under the initiative of Tower (Tower Semiconductor Ltd. sponsors the Foundry Corner on D&R Web portal to enhance their IP portfolio accessibility) efficient primitives for bulk upload, exhibiting foundry ratings are operational : Therefore when selecting a foundry on D&R public site, the visitor is automatically directed towards the Foundry private actalog. In parallel should an IP provider get attention for one of its IP due to a foundry rating he will be informed. 5. Private catalogs and intranet services The intranet catalog data feeding service goes on for D&R major clients. It t is more and more obvious that the designers are kept within their firewall and internet catalogs or IP file servers are just not sufficient for providing appropriate visibility.What’s new is the increase of the demand for intranet file download following a corporate agreement; it includes the procurement support with fro instance the corporate codification (corporate part numbering and certification report) The process is deployed for the FPGA vendors in prioriy but other portfolio agreements may follow Should you be a user or a provider interested in such a process please contact us 6. D&R lead service for IP / SOC product and service vendors It is obvious that derived from the above initiatives the IP provider will benefit from an increased lead service. Therefore some major D&R partner providers will receive weekly lead reports split in several groups: Public web site leads, Private catalog leads, Asic platform leads, Foundry corner leads, if agrees intranet leads.The providers will be able to subscribe for some lead categories 7- IP/SOC 2004 - December 8-9, 2004 - Grenoble, France  It is the only place where "IP" and
"IP based" are the sole topics of a good conference, a large exhibition
and outstanding panels. You will meet there all the best specialists in
this topic and see the latest products.
Special panels and sessions have been planned on hot topics such as
Nano technology, IP based platform, high level models, etc... Contact us right away for very hot topic you would like to see addresses. Important Dates
In addition the IP/SoC 2004 working conference has an exhibition attached, giving you the opportunity to see the reality of a SOC connected world. The joint exciting dedicated exhibition will allow you to meet the most advanced suppliers and take the chance to see the last products of the best vendors.
