Los Altos, CA -- October 18, 2001 -- Eureka Technology Inc, a leading intellectual property (IP) provider, today announced that it has joined MIPS Technologies' (Nasdaq: MIPS, MIPSB) MIPS™ Alliance Program (MAP), and further announced the availability of several IP cores designed specifically to support the industry-standard MIPS32™ 4K™ and MIPS64™ 5K™ families of processor cores.

"We are very excited about becoming a member of the MAP program and the addition of the new IP cores for use in creating new highly-integrated MIPS-based™ processors," said Simon Lau, President of Eureka Technology. "Eureka Technology has been focusing on system-on-chip (SoC) design with support for most popular embedded CPUs for a wide range of applications. These new cores provide risk-free and readily available design solutions to our customers who are using the MIPS processor architecture."

"Using pre-verified IP cores substantially shortens the time-to-market for today's SoC designers," said Kevin Meyer, vice president of marketing at MIPS Technologies. "We are very pleased that Eureka Technology is offering silicon-proven IP cores that are designed specifically to support the MIPS architecture. Pre-verified cores contribute to the success of our customers' programs."

The MIPS Alliance Program (MAP) provides its members with sales and technical assistance as well as broad marketing support such as Internet and traditional marketing and promotional activities. MAP members are third-party vendors who provide complete solutions around MIPS Technologies processors. MIPS-based processors are found in digital entertainment devices such as set-top boxes and game consoles, consumer electronics, office automation machines and communications/networking equipment such as routers and servers.
