PISCATAWAY, NJ -- 06/29/09 --
Power.org(TM), the organization that
promotes and develops standards for Power Architecture® technology, today
announced that Virage Logic Corporation (NASDAQ: VIRL), the semiconductor
industry's trusted IP partner, has joined Power.org as a participant
member. Virage Logic provides an extensive range of semiconductor IP that
removes the traditional bottleneck in processor design -- access to
embedded memories and silicon implementation -- speeding time-to-market and
helping minimize design costs.
"The strength of a processor is dependent on its peripherals and with
Virage Logic's production-proven, advanced interface IP solutions,
PowerPC-based designs can leverage the critical IP required for successful
SoC designs," said Power.org CTO, Kaveh Massoudian. "The company's
technology and expertise will provide a valuable asset to the Power
Architecture ecosystem, making Power Architecture technology available to
the mass market and to the mainstream fabless semiconductor market."
Recently, Virage Logic announced an agreement with IBM designating the
company as an IBM PowerPC Design Center, granting it the rights to license
and distribute IBM's PowerPC® processor and peripheral cores when
combined with Virage Logic's broad portfolio of semiconductor IP.
"Our participation in Power.org allows us to broaden the portfolio of
highly differentiated silicon-proven IP available to the Power.org
community," said Dr. Yankin Tanurhan, vice president and general manager,
non-volatile memory (NVM) solutions, Virage Logic. "We look forward to
working closely with members of the organization to drive innovation while
helping them achieve their cost, performance and time-to-market goals."
