Si2 OpenAccess+ Conference Returns in April
The Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) announced that its tenth OpenAccess+ Conference will be held on April 3, 2007, at Sun Microsystems' Santa Clara Conference Center in Santa Clara, California. The Conference will feature speakers and demonstrations from several of the industry's leading semiconductor and electronic-design automation (EDA) companies. Industry veteran Mark Templeton will be providing the keynote address.
The 10th OpenAccess+ Conference will focus on progress in achieving interoperability, a fundamental promise of OpenAccess. Important EDA tool releases and progress by end-users using OpenAccess indicates that the promise of interoperability is now a reality. The conference will explore new advances in OpenAccess adoption, as well as related advances in modeling of process variations which are essential for 65nm and lower technology nodes. Speakers will include representatives from Sun Microsystems, LSI, AMI Semiconductor, Renesas, Hewlett-Packard, ARM, Cadence, Altos, Extreme DA, CiraNova, Silicon Navigator, and Mentor Graphics. Finally, there will be a number of companies who will be providing real-life evidence of the value of OpenAccess through demonstrations of their tools on the OpenAccess reference implementation.

About the OpenAccess Standard and Si2
The OpenAccess Coalition is a community-driven initiative formed to enable the creation of tightly integrated flows involving best-in-class commercial and proprietary tools and intellectual property, necessary to support design of today's complex chips. This is done through an open-standard data-access interface (API) and reference database implementation supporting that API. Leading electronics companies with significant investment in CAD tools and infrastructure, as well as many commercial electronic-design automation (EDA) tool providers, have embraced the OpenAccess initiative as a means to support rapid product development. The OpenAccess Coalition operates under the governance and bylaws of Si2.
