Power.org Debuts New Tools at Munich and Paris Power Architecture(TM) Conferences
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) MUNICH, GERMANY, May 27 / MARKET WIRE/ --
Power.org, the open organization that
develops and promotes Power Architecture(TM) technology, today announced it
will demonstrate three important new tools at its Power Architecture
Conferences in Munich, Germany, on May 26-27 and in Paris, France, on May
29-30. The Power.org(TM) Solutions Portal, the Power Architecture Early
Tools Development Matrix, and the Power.org Target Debug Capabilities
Specification, developed through the collaborative efforts of the Power.org
community, will help speed the creation of high-performance,
next-generation electronic products.
"Power.org continues to drive improvements in the Power Architecture
technology platform by facilitating collaboration among our corporate
members and the development community in a wide range of markets," said
Power.org Marketing Committee Chair Fawzi Behmann. "Through the release of
new tools and ongoing community education, Power.org enables the
development of standard methods and tools that accelerate innovation and
cut development time and costs."
Power.org Solutions Portal
The Power.org Solutions Portal inventories and categorizes the hundreds of
Power Architecture product and service offerings that are readily available
from the ecosystem of companies invested in the technology platform.
Systems architects, systems designers, hardware and software developers,
chip designers and integrators can rely on the Power.org Solutions Portal
as their primary resource to locate the tools, software, hardware and
services needed to speed their time to market. In addition, the portal
provides vendors with a central location to showcase their products and
services and a resource for identifying potential business partners. The
Power.org Solutions Portal is available now for Power Architecture
ecosystem members to input their product data at
http://www.power.org/solutions.
Power Architecture Embedded Development Resources
The Power Architecture Early Tools Development Matrix is a comprehensive
listing of pre-silicon and systems development tools available for the
Power Architecture platform. The new matrix demonstrates the breadth and
depth of development tools that are readily available for Power
Architecture cores and SoCs.
"The Power Architecture technology platform offers a profusion of
best-of-breed tools that facilitate virtual, 'pre-hardware' development,"
said Nina Wilner, the Power.org software architect who led the compilation
of the matrix. "Using the Power Architecture Early Tools Development
Matrix, design engineers can develop hardware and software simultaneously
and dramatically reduce time-to-market."
Power.org Target Debug Capabilities Specification
The new Power.org Target Debug Capabilities Specification defines a common
set of debugging requirements for Power Architecture-based products. An
extension of the Power Instruction Set Architecture, this new specification
includes required and recommended debug features, functions and
environments needed for single-core and multicore Power Architecture
designs.
"Until now, Power Architecture implementations lacked a uniform debug
interface, environment and methodology, requiring tool vendors to develop
multiple software and hardware configurations for different Power
processors, SoCs and cores," said Chris Ng, chairperson for Power.org's
Common Debug Interface Technical Subcommittee. "A common set of debug
environments will ensure tool interoperability and reduce development
costs."
"These new tools exemplify the value of collaborative innovation by
Power.org members," said Dr. Syed Ijlal Shah, co-chair for Power.org's
Technical Committee. "Both the Early Tools Development Matrix and the
Target Debug Capabilities Specification will ease design and accelerate the
adoption of Power Architecture technology."
The Power.org Target Debug Capabilities Specification is available now at

Power Architecture Conferences
Sponsored by AMCC, Cadence Design Systems, e2v, Freescale Semiconductor,
IBM, Kontron Modular Computers, Lauterbach, Synopsys, TQ-Components,
Virtutech, and VaST Systems, the conference will give engineering managers,
system architects and product developers access to the latest Power
Architecture product roadmaps and to practical training on the Power
Architecture processing platform and new products.
Attendance is free but advance registration is required because seating is
limited. Dates of these events are firm and details about each conference
are available at www.power.org/events/powercon. In addition, Power.org
will host Power Architecture Conferences in China, Japan and Taiwan in
October.
