Accellera Systems Initiative Overview
Bill Read | August, 2012
Accellera Systems Initiative
Our Mission
 To provide design and verification
standards required by systems,
semiconductor, IP and design tool
companies to enhance a front-end
design automation process.
 To collaborate with its community
of companies, individuals and
organizations in delivering the
standards that lower the cost to
design commercial EDA, IC and
embedded system solutions.

Why Standards?
 Design tools & methodologies continue to evolve rapidly
- Simulation
- Emulation
- IP integration
- DFx Architecting DFx
- Mixed environment
 Standards help reduce overcall cost of migrating design, IP & tools
