===Open Core Protocol International Partnership Association===
The ''Open Core Protocol International Partnership Association, Inc.'' ('''OCP-IP''') was an independent, non-profit semiconductor industry consortium formed to administer the support, promotion and enhancement of the [[Open Core Protocol]] (OCP). OCP was the first fully supported, openly licensed, comprehensive, interface socket for semiconductor intellectual property (IP) cores. The mission of OCP-IP was to address problems relating to design, verification, and testing which are common to IP core reuse in "[[plug and play]]" [[system on a chip]] (SoC) products. This initiative comprehensively fulfills system-level integration requirements by promoting [[IP core]] reusability and reducing design time, risk and manufacturing costs for SoC designs. Design teams developing consumer, [[data processing]], [[Telecommunication|telecom]] (wireless or wired), [[datacom]] and mass storage applications can gain significant benefits from the OCP-IP solution.
