About the Co-hosts:

Tharas Systems develops and markets high-performance verification
systems to designers of complex integrated circuits and electronic
systems. The Tharas solution leads to significant shortening of the
verification cycle; the pay off is material reduction in
time-to-market. Tharas Systems' patented hardware accelerator
Hammer(R) is the only solution that speeds up both the simulation of
the design as well as execution of the test bench. Simulation
acceleration applies to behavioral, RTL, and gate level
representations. Increasing verification complexity is one of the main
challenges of designing complex integrated circuits and systems today.
Founded in 1998, Tharas is privately held and funded by venture
capital and private investors from throughout the electronics
industry. Corporate headquarters is located at 3016 Coronado Drive,
Santa Clara, Calif. 95054. Visit Tharas Systems at

Co-Design Automation is an EDA company focused on the efficient
creation, implementation, and verification of system on chip (SOC)
designs. In 1999, Co-Design announced the SUPERLOG system design
language, now utilized by 15 partner companies. Its products --
SYSTEMSIM and SYSTEMEX -- are achieving success throughout the
electronics industry worldwide in system platform and advanced
verification applications. Corporate headquarters is in Los Altos,
Calif. Telephone: 877/6 CODESIGN. Facsimile: 408/273-6025. Email:

Real Intent, headquartered in San Jose, Calif., offers award-winning
formal functional verification tools for electronic design. These
tools give users the capability to comprehensively verify designs
early. These products significantly reduce the cost of verifying
integrated circuits, electronic systems and system on a chip. For more
