A new Accellera technical subcommittee will address standardisation of custom design kit data The subcommittee, called the Accellera OpenKit (OK) Initiative, includes representatives from semiconductor, electronic design automation (EDA), foundry and intellectual property (IP) companies

They are working together to define standard design kit formats for representing process technology and other design data in EDA environments.

The establishment of standard formats for custom design data will save a significant amount of engineering time currently spent in integrating tools with design kits, as well as simplify the use of multiple tools, flows and different IC processes.
