Georgia Tech to Provide UXPi-based Compliance Testing DALLAS, Feb.
20 /PRNewswire/ -- The Unified 10Gbps Physical-Layer Initiative
(UXPi) today announced that Georgia Institute of Technology
(Georgia Tech) has joined the alliance to proliferate a common
10Gbps physical layer cross-market standard to simplify and
accelerate the implementation of next-generation 10Gbps systems. A
Georgia Tech research center, the Georgia Electronic Design Center
(GEDC), will provide UXPi-based compliance testing for the
characterization of multi-gigabit elements for serial
communications. Dr. Joy Laskar and Joseph M. Pettit, Professor of
Electronics and director of the GEDC, will be leading Georgia
Tech's UXPi research efforts. "Getting neighboring chips, boards
and computers to interconnect and communicate without bottlenecks
is a key challenge to ubiquitous computing and communications,"
says GEDC Director Laskar. "Georgia Tech's role in this alliance is
to expand the industry's understanding of the next generation
10Gbps physical layer, and we'll do that, in part, by leveraging a
state-of- the-art testbed with an advanced integration platform."
"UXPi is excited to start this strategic relationship with GEDC.
This will provide a focal point for developing and providing
testing methodology for verifying performance to UXPi-aligned
standards," says Ed Suder from Texas Instruments, and Vice Chairman
of UXPi. Interest has been growing in UXPi since five companies
launched the effort in September 2002. The industry trend toward
serial connectivity will reduce system costs, simplify system
design and provide scalability to meet emerging bandwidth
requirements. A program of the IEEE Industry Standards and
Technology Organization (IEEE - ISTO), UXPi is presently comprised
of the following companies and organizations: Acuid Corporation
Ltd. Agilent Technologies Applied Micro Circuits Corporation Altera
Corporation ERNI Group Georgia Institute of Technology Infineon
Technologies AG International Business Machines Corporation
Northrup Grumman Interconnect Technology Northrup Grumman
Winchester Electronics Quellan, Inc. Tektronix Teradyne, Inc. Texas
Instruments Incorporated Xilinx, Inc. UXPi's successes will
complement and contribute to existing and upcoming standardization
efforts by multiple industry bodies; a broad representation of
industries among member companies will multiply the reach of UXPi
efforts. UXPi encourages any company with an interestin this
technology to apply for membership. Additional information is
available at http://www.uxpi.org/ . UXPi is organized as a program
under the IEEE-ISTO, which provides a legal and administrative
platform on which UXPi operations can progress. UXPi plans to work
with numerous contributing and adopting companies to develop,
refine and make the specifications available. UXPi founding members
include Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (NASDAQ:AMCC),
International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM), Infineon AG
(NYSE:IFX), Texas Instruments Incorporated (NYSE:TXN) and Xilinx,
Inc., (NASDAQ:XLNX). Additional information about UXPi membership,
activities and progress is available at http://www.uxpi.org/ . The
Georgia Institute of Technology is one of the nation's top research
universities, distinguished by its commitment to improving the
human condition through advanced science and technology. The
Georgia Electronic Design Center, a multi-disciplinary center at
Georgia Tech, supports world-class research, active and
solution-oriented industry collaboration, intellectual property
generation and revenue generating commercialization efforts.
