Abstract :
The Virtual Socket Interface Alliance (VSIA) was formed to make system-chip design a practical reality by enabling the mix and match of virtual components from multiple sources on a single silicon chip. We examine some of the technical challenges being dealt with by the seven Development Working Groups of the VSIA
