No, I’m not talking about stargazing. This Constellations is the IP collaboration program launched by IPextreme earlier this year.
Four of the Constellations partners – CAST, IPextreme, Sidense and Sonics – are sponsoring a luncheon at DAC on Wednesday, July 29, where you can hear about “The Changing Face of the IP Industry.” Following a keynote talk by Jim Hogan, well-known semiconductor and EDA veteran, the luncheon will feature a Constellations overview followed by a panel manned by the sponsoring partners. The panelists will discuss current and evolving techniques for obtaining on-chip resources, along with some of the technologies available in third-party IP that can help you with your chip designs.
Identifying, selecting, and implementing IP is difficult. Web searches and IP portals such as ChipEstimate.com and Design & Reuse are useful for IP identification, but the expertise of the Constellations partners add another dimension for connecting IP integrators with the right IP providers.
