Award Honors Achievements in EDA Interoperability
DESIGN AUTOMATION CONFERENCE, SAN DIEGO, June 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS), the world leader in semiconductor design
software and interoperability, today presented to Novas Software, a market
leader in open, interoperable debug systems for complex chip designs, the
fourth annual Tenzing Norgay electronic design automation (EDA)
Interoperability Achievement Award. The award recognizes the success of Novas
Software in making its products function across a variety of advanced
methodologies, tools and languages. Novas Software was formally recognized
today at the Synopsys Interoperability Breakfast at the 41st Design Automation
Conference (DAC).
"Novas has always maintained a strong commitment to solution
interoperability, ensuring a highly flexible, easy-to-use system for our
customers. This is demonstrated by our 40 active partnerships, combined with
extensive language adoption and our membership in Accelera," said Scott
Sandler, president and CEO of Novas. "We are honored to accept the Tenzing
Norgay Interoperability Award and regard it as a benchmark of our success
towards achieving methodology unification."
Novas is committed to interoperability and continually shows its dedication to
that end by supporting the SystemVerilog 3.0, Verilog and VHDL design
languages, testbench languages such as SynopsysVera(R), and assertion
languages such as SystemVerilog and OpenVera(R). The company's roadmap, which
includes support for SystemVerilog 3.1a and SystemC, is further enhanced by
its participation on a number of standards committees and within various
industry organizations to promote greater usage of industry standards. Novas
works closely with many third-party companies to provide a single,
interoperable environment for a wide range of tools across multiple
methodologies, reducing usage complexity and learning curves.
"Synopsys understands that achievements in interoperability produce many
benefits, not only for the design engineer, but for the industry as a whole,"
said Rich Goldman, vice president, Strategic Market Development at Synopsys.
"Interoperability efforts from Synopsys and other EDA companies have resulted
in huge cost savings for companies designing complex integrated circuits and
system-on-chip designs, as well as EDA vendors developing advanced design
tools. Novas Software exemplifies the characteristics established for the
Tenzing Norgay EDA Interoperability Award by being one of the early adopters
of SystemVerilog, as well as by offering standard-compliant tools and
solutions."
About the Tenzing Norgay Interoperability Achievement Award
The Tenzing Norgay EDA Interoperability Achievement Award was established
by Synopsys to recognize EDA providers who collaborate on interoperable design
flows that benefit the user community. The award is presented annually to an
EDA company that has surpassed common levels of interoperability, has
contributed to overall industry advancement, and has helped provide a new view
of the future for EDA interoperability. Named for the crucial role that Sherpa
Tenzing Norgay played in the first successful attempt to reach the summit of
Mount Everest in 1953, the EDA Interoperability Achievement Award recognizes
achievements that are critical to a designer's success.
