MIPS Technologies Joins With Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks Corporation to Foster IC Design Innovation
17 August 2010 - 11:00PM
MIPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:MIPS), a leading provider of
industry-standard processor architectures and cores for digital
consumer, home networking, wireless, communications and business
applications, today announced it is teaming with Hong Kong Science
and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTPC) to ease SoC design for
startups in Asia Pacific. Through the agreement, high-performance
MIPS32® processor cores—including the MIPS32 4Kc®, M4K®, 4KEc® and
24KEc™ cores in a range of processes—will be available to HKSTPC
clients as part of the organization's Multi Project Wafer (MPW) and
Pilot Production programs.
HKSTPC's Integrated Circuit Design Centre offers a wide range of
IP services, including licensing, integration and verification.
Availability of the MIPS cores through the HKSTPC portal will
enable start-ups and small/medium design companies to reduce
up-front risk in cost and technology selection during SoC
development.
"HKSTPC provides its clients with access to the industry's most
advanced technologies to speed SoC design, and we are pleased to
offer access to the MIPS® architecture, the leading processor
architecture for the digital home," said Mr. E. Anthony Tan, CEO of
HKSTPC. "HKSTPC is dedicated to fostering technological innovation
and strengthening IC development, and one of our focused areas is
to nurture design innovation for start-up companies. Our clients
will benefit from reduced design risk and fast time-to-market
through MIPS Technologies' advanced and proven IP cores."
"HKSTPC is playing a key role in driving design innovation in
Asia Pacific, and we are delighted to provide its many clients with
access to our high-performance IP cores that offer a scalable basis
for future development," said Art Swift, vice president of
marketing and business development at MIPS Technologies. "Asia
Pacific is the fastest growing region for MIPS Technologies, with
our licensees there creating some of the world's most innovative
SoCs for next-generation connected products. This relationship with
HKSTPC will continue to drive MIPS-Based innovation and grow our
already broad ecosystem of support in the region."
