  1. Quality IP Study Group Update Prepared by: Kathy Werner VSI Alliance President QIP SG Chair

  2. Existing work Work based on VSI donation of QIP • Communication mechanism • Common vocabulary • Common evaluation baseline • Measurable conformance to specified requirements • Implemented in excel • Usable by an IP provider for: • a simple checklist of quality factors & metrics • individual VC quality evaluation • input to IP Integrators for evaluation • Usable by the IP Integrator / customer for: • evaluation of a single VC or whole SoC • comparison of VCs from several IP providers • weighting the attributes for specific application/company What you actually get and can expect from the IP

  3. Current Use • QIP adopted by leading IP providers and integrators (100’s of companies downloaded since 1/06) • QIP used as baseline metric in IP qualification tools • VIP Lane from SatinIP • IP Forensics from Atrenta • QIP supported on leading IP exchange portals • ChipEstimate • Design and Reuse • The VSI QIP open release (V4) includes Vendor Qualification, Soft Digital IP, Hard IP, and Verification IP • Alpha version of Software IP

  4. IEEE Work • Develop schema to enable automation • Existing excel implementation available as example • Allows user defined fields for flexibility • Maintain standard IP quality measures • More open implementation • Contributors: • Freescale, Denali, IDT, Mentor, LSI, HP, Synopsys, edaCentrum, Booz Allen Hamilton, Infineon • Schedule • Awaiting NesCom final approval for working group • Looking to mid-2008 draft completion

  5. Relationship to other IEEE standards • This proposal allows growth into new technology areas for IEEE/DASC • Quality metrics for IP • Quality metrics for IP related software • This proposal ties to other work in IEEE/DASC • IP descriptions in P1685 SPIRIT • IP Encryption • Possible extension to hands-on qualification labs. • Chance to extend membership to Fabs, IP suppliers, portals, etc.

  6. Potential Future Work • Additional areas of QIP Metric coverage: • Finalize software metrics • Expand for other IP types and full SoC evaluations
