May 24 2007 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Synopsys (Nasdaq:SNPS), a world leader in semiconductor design
software, and Synplicity, Inc. (Nasdaq:SYNP), a leading supplier of
software for the design and verification of semiconductors, today
announced the signing of a joint marketing agreement intended to
improve verification flows for their mutual customers. Under terms
of the agreement, the companies intend to work together on
next-generation, high-performance verification solutions for ASIC
designers. Targeting FPGA-based prototyping environments, Synopsys
and Synplicity plan to demonstrate Synopsys� VCS� functional
verification solution working seamlessly with Synplicity�s new
Identify� Pro software with TotalRecall� technology, a tool adding
full visibility to FPGA-based prototyping systems. A press release
announcing Synplicity�s Identify Pro software was distributed today
(Synplicity Delivers Breakthrough ASIC Verification Solution).
�Synplicity and Synopsys are focused on improving verification
flows for the ASIC design community,� said George Zafiropoulos,
vice president of Marketing, Discovery Verification Platform,
Synopsys. �Working together we are able to deliver a solution that
can increase productivity for FPGA-based prototyping of ASIC
designs. The Synopsys VCS solution and the Synplicity Identify Pro
product will enable our mutual customers to more quickly perform
interactive debugging of FPGA-based prototypes.� �We believe the
collaboration between Synplicity and Synopsys will result in
innovative new hardware-assisted verification flows,� said Joe
Gianelli, vice president Business Development and Strategic
Alliances, Synplicity. �We have been working with Synopsys during
the past six months to ensure that our new Identify Pro software
and Synopsys� industry-leading VCS solution work seamlessly
together to provide full visibility for high-performance ASIC
prototyping flows. Using this flow will enable designers to find
and debug design issues that are otherwise only caught using live
system stimulus.� The Synopsys-Synplicity joint marketing agreement
grants both companies licenses of their respective products to
create a highly tested flow between their respective tools. Under
the terms of the agreement, Synopsys and Synplicity intend to
explore additional capabilities from each company�s product
portfolio to advance their combined, next-generation verification
solutions. Synplicity and Synopsys will be exhibiting at the 2007
Design Automation Conference, June 4-7 in San Diego, California.
Synopsys will be in booth # 5278. Synplicity will be in booth #
4278 and plans a demonstration of the Synplicity-Synopsys
integrated ASIC prototype flow. About Synopsys Synopsys, Inc. is a
