Virage Logic Corporation Joins Power.org Community; Provides Power Architecture(R) Customers Extensive Range of Silicon-Proven S

PISCATAWAY, NJ, Jun 29, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
VIRL | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Power.org(TM), the organization that promotes and develops standards
for Power Architecture(R) technology, today announced that Virage
Logic Corporation (NASDAQ: VIRL), the semiconductor industry's
trusted IP partner, has joined Power.org as a participant member.
Virage Logic provides an extensive range of semiconductor IP that
removes the traditional bottleneck in processor design -- access to
embedded memories and silicon implementation -- speeding
time-to-market and helping minimize design costs.

"The strength of a processor is dependent on its peripherals and with
Virage Logic's production-proven, advanced interface IP solutions,
PowerPC-based designs can leverage the critical IP required for
successful SoC designs," said Power.org CTO, Kaveh Massoudian. "The
company's technology and expertise will provide a valuable asset to
the Power Architecture ecosystem, making Power Architecture
technology available to the mass market and to the mainstream fabless
semiconductor market."

Recently, Virage Logic announced an agreement with IBM designating
the company as an IBM PowerPC Design Center, granting it the rights to
license and distribute IBM's PowerPC(R) processor and peripheral cores
when combined with Virage Logic's broad portfolio of semiconductor IP.

"Our participation in Power.org allows us to broaden the portfolio of
highly differentiated silicon-proven IP available to the Power.org
community," said Dr. Yankin Tanurhan, vice president and general
manager, non-volatile memory (NVM) solutions, Virage Logic. "We look
forward to working closely with members of the organization to drive
innovation while helping them achieve their cost, performance and
time-to-market goals."
