Virtual Socket Interface Alliance
- Virtual Socket Interface Alliance
= What does "VSIA" stand for ? =
VSIA stands for Virtual Socket Interface Alliance, which is a body of SIP (Semiconductor / Silicon intellectual property) standards. VSIA was founded in 1996, and was an open, international organization comprised of representatives, like Mentor Graphics, Cadence Design Systems, Magma Design Automation, ARM Holdings, Synopsys, etc from various segments of the SoC (System-on-a-chip) industry.
Importance of VSIA
VSIA’s mission was to enhance the productivity of the SoC design community dramatically. VSIA has developed an international standard, the QIP metric (Quality Intellectual Property Metric) for measuring SIP quality and examining the practices used to design, integrate and support the IP. This is important to have a measure of the quality of VSIA also works on other issues such as IP protection, IP transfer, IP integration and IP reuse standards (IP hardening is required for easy IP reuse) for Integrated circuit design.
Eg. for IP Trading
Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP), which was set up by Hong Kong government, joined VSIA as a member in 2006. HKSTP and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) started to develop a SIP verification and quality measures framework in 2005.
The objective is to develop a technical framework for SIP quality measures and evaluation based on QIP. HKSTP provides QIP services, and a SIP trading platform for different semiconductor vendors, developers, and SIP providers.
