OCP International Partnership Association, Inc. (OCP-IP) is an independent, non-profit semiconductor industry consortium formed to administer the support, promotion and enhancement of the Open Core Protocol (OCP). OCP is the first fully supported, openly licensed, comprehensive, interface socket for semiconductor intellectual property (IP) cores.
CoWare is a member of OCP-IP and and provides leadership in the ESL related
aspects of their standardization efforts. CoWare solutions support OCP through
the OCP SystemC protocol library available
with CoWare Platform Architect and OCP-compatible IP models available in the
CoWare Model Library.

To accelerate the design of large System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions, the semiconductor industry needs a standard mechanism for describing and handling multi-sourced IP that enables automated design integration and configuration within multi-vendor tool flows. The SPIRIT Consortium's founding companies are combining their long experience in IP development, supply, integration and electronic design automation (EDA) to deliver such a mechanism. The Consortium provides a unified set of specifications based on IP meta-data, the IP-XACT specifications, for importing complex IP bundles into SoC design tool sets, and exchanging design descriptions between tools. An API for querying and writing to IP-XACT data-bases is also provided as part of the IP-XACT specifications.
CoWare is a member of SPIRIT and provides leadership in the ESL related aspects
of the standardization efforts.

The Open SystemC Initiative
(OSCI) is an independent, not-for-profit association composed
of a broad range of organizations dedicated to defining and
advancing SystemC as an open industry standard for system-level
modeling, design and verification. SystemC is a language
built in C++ that spans from concept to implementation in
hardware and software. The IEEE
Standards Association approved
the standard for the SystemC library as IEEE Std. 1666-2005.
CoWare is a founding member of OSCI. CoWare has been a primary technical driver for the standardization as IEEE Std. 1666. CoWare is a major contributor to the ongoing efforts of standardizing Transaction-Level Modeling (TLM).
