Atomic Rules Becomes a Community Member of the Open Core Protocol International Partnership

AUBURN, NH - January 5, 2009 - Atomic Rules LLC announced today that it has joined the Open Core Protocol International Partnership (OCP-IP) as a community member, to actively participate in the implementation and evolution of the standard.

"There are many tough challenges in building complex digital systems, naming the signals that interconnect IP cores should not be one of them", said Shep Siegel, CTO of Atomic Rules.

By joining OCP-IP, Atomic Rules hopes to elevate conventional RTLs, which can be plagued by weakly-defined implicit assumptions; to the less error-prone, correct-by-construction, standard calling conventions of Bluespec SystemVerilog (BSV).

Atomic Rules LLC is a New Hampshire based consultancy that provides strategic capabilities for reconfigurable computing.
