Community aims to
accelerate PowerPC SoCs
Cadence Design Systems is working with IBM to launch Power.org, an open standards community that will help IC designers develop SoCs using the IBM PowerPC architecture
Power.org is dedicated to promoting the IBM PowerPC Architecture as the preferred open-standard hardware-development platform for electronic systems for markets such as consumer electronics, networking, storage, military and automotive. As part of its ongoing work with IBM, Cadence has developed a SoC reference design methodology around the PowerPC Architecture using the Cadence Encounter digital IC design platform.

'Cadence has worked closely for over two years with IBM in support of the PowerPC Architecture, and continues that commitment as a founding member of Power.org', said Jan Willis, Senior Vice President of Industry Marketing at Cadence.
'We believe that truly open standards, proven flows and industry alliances are essential to tightly integrate the design chain for customer success'.
'Accordingly, Cadence is prepared to support the needs of designers using the PowerPC architecture with validated reference design flows, together with engineering services, on a worldwide basis'.
