“In Q3 of 2015, the Electronic System Design Alliance’s MSS report showed that semiconductor IP sales outpaced EDA sales for the first time,” said Bob Smith, executive director of the ESD Alliance, in a statement. “Yet, in spite of this rapid growth, there has been no industry event that focuses solely on bringing IP vendors and buyers together to network and explore the breadth of the industry’s product offerings.”
“Over the last several years, the IP community has come together to host the highly anticipated ‘Stars of IP’ parties at the Design Automation Conference,” said Warren Savage, general manager of IP at Silvaco, Inc., in a statement. “These helped establish a model of fair and balanced cooperation we are now utilizing for REUSE 2016—an event conceived and operated by the IP community, for the community.”
The founding members of REUSE 2016 are:
- CAST, Inc.
- Certus Semiconductor, Inc.
- Silicon Creations, Inc.
- Silvaco, Inc.
- SoC Solutions, Inc.
- True Circuits, Inc.
Jim Feldham, president and CEO of Semico Research, will provide the event’s inaugural keynote address on trends driving IP reuse.
