On July 28, 2009, the IPL Alliance hosted an IPL Lunch Workshop event at DAC in San Francisco, CA.

In 2008, TSMC announced that it was joining the IPL Alliance and collaborating with key alliance members to create the industry’s first 65-nm interoperable PDK. At the DAC 2009 lunch event, IPL members presented details about a foundry-qualified and validated interoperable PDK. Over 100 attendees learned more about the challenges, features, and IPL roadmap. In addition, Wipro provided its experience using the kit.
