San Jose, Calif. – May 06,2003 – GDA Technologies, Inc, a fast growing supplier of Intellectual Property and Design Services, today announced that it has become a member of the IBM Blue Logic IP Collaboration Program. The Blue Logic IP Collaboration Program was established last year by IBM to enable its customer utilization of IP cores that have been proven in IBM Microelectronics' leading ASIC manufacturing technologies
Six GDA IP cores are available through IBM Blue Logic IP Collaboration Program including HyperTransport Cave, Tunnel, Host and Bridge, 10 Gigabit Ethernet MAC, and SPI4.2 link controller. Information on these IP cores is available on IBM and GDA web sites.
"Solutions that are part of our IP collaboration program can address our customers' critical need for high quality, high performance IP," said Tom Reeves, Vice President of ASIC Product Group at IBM Microelectronics. "As SOCs increase in complexity, the requirement for IP intensifies, and thus extensive experience in networking IP, from companies like GDA, can add value to our Blue Logic Program and allow our customers to devote their time to creating competitive products on time and on budget."
"We are very pleased to be a member of the IBM Blue Logic IP Collaboration Program,” said Prakash Bare, Vice President of IP Business at GDA. “IBM is one of the world’s top semiconductor manufacturers, and we take pride in availability of our HyperTransport, 10 GEthernet MAC and SPI4.2 IP cores through the IP Collaboration Program. Our broad range of IP solutions and services will be available to IBM’s customers to dramatically reduce RTL development time for complex SOC solutions. We look forward to working closely with IBM."
About HyperTransport™ Technology
HyperTransport technology is a high-speed, high-performance interconnect for integrated circuits that provide a universal connection designed to reduce the number of buses within the system. It provides a high-performance link for networking and embedded applications, and enables highly scalable multiprocessing systems. It is designed to enable the chips inside PCs, servers, networking and communications devices to communicate with each other up to 48 times faster than existing bus technologies. HyperTransport technology enables system designers to develop very complex, high-performance, scalable networking topologies through switching technology, while maintaining and improving the scalability and performance of their existing legacy PCI infrastructures. Additional information about HyperTransport technology or the HyperTransport Consortium can be accessed at www.hypertransport.org
