Intel has a new representative on the Silicon Integration Initiative board of directors. Manoj Selva, vice president and general manager of the Intel Product Enablement Solutions Group, replaces Rahul Goyal, a 35-year Intel veteran who will retire from Intel later this year. Goyal served on the Si2 board for over 20 years, more than 10 years as chair.
Selva is responsible for leading the development and deployment of design tools, flows and methodologies to Intel’s product development teams. His charter includes the delivery of design platforms for both Intel and external foundry technologies and the related design automation interaction. Selva joined Intel in 2006 and has led various teams across architecture, design TFM, platforms, and system integration validation.
The Si2 board has 16 members representing leading semiconductor manufacturers, foundries, fabless companies and EDA software providers.
Si2 members enable advanced semiconductor design integration, leading to industry-accepted standards. Si2 offers these standards, technology, and services to all interested organizations and individuals at a fair and reasonable cost. Si2 grew out of the CAD Frameworks Initiative, which began in 1988. It is a nonprofit R&D joint venture funded by member companies.
