Free Synthesis Trial From Get2Chip
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 11, 2001--Get2Chip Inc.,
the EDA technology leader in SOC synthesis, announced its ``Jumpstart''
program today, offering synthesis users a free, three-day comparison
of their tools versus those of Get2Chip.
``We generated a lot of excitement and interest at DAC by doing
head-to-head comparisons of our RTL and architectural synthesis
against the competition,'' said Steve Carlson, Get2Chip's vice
president of marketing. ``Now with Jumpstart, anyone who's wants to
know if they can do better with Get2Chip can find out in a completely
confidential way, with no cost, and no obligation.''
The Jumpstart Lab in San Jose takes a user's design and
re-synthesizes it with Get2Chip's tools. A highly detailed analysis is
prepared for the user indicating time saved, quality of results, and
other performance metrics. Taking advantage of this limited-time free
offer, normally a $10,000 program, is a simple matter of visiting
Get2Chip's website at: www.get2chip.com/index/jumpstart.asp. Certain
restrictions apply; see the online application for details.
``People stopped paying attention to EDA vendor supplied benchmarks
a few hundred years ago,'' Carlson added. ``That's why we're going to
take real-world designs, show what we can do, and let people make up
their own minds . . . it's as simple as that.''
