Get2Chip, Verplex Partner to Provide Implementation, Verification Flow for SOC Designs
SAN JOSE & MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 2001--
Get2Chip, Inc. and Verplex Systems, Inc., today announced a
partnership to provide a system-on-chip (SOC) design flow based on
Get2Chip's VOLARE multi-level synthesis platform and Verplex's
Conformal(TM) Logic Equivalence Checker (LEC).
Get2Chip and Verplex intend to work together to provide a seamless
flow between synthesis and formal verification as a means of reducing
design implementation and verification time. The result of this
cooperation will be a high-capacity and high-performance solution
targeted toward the design and implementation of complex,
multi-million gates SOCs.
``By teaming VOLARE and Conformal LEC together in a common
environment, we can guarantee fast and accurate functional convergence
between the register-transfer level and the gate-level netlist,'' notes
Lauro Rizzatti, Get2Chip's marketing director. ``The integration of
VOLARE with Conformal provides designers with a consistent design flow
that is powerful, accurate and easy to use, enabling better
productivity.''
``The proliferation of ultra-deep submicron processes with
geometries below 0.25m is forcing designers to adopt new design
methodologies and tools to handle the increased complexity,'' adds
Ralph Sanchez, product marketing manager at Verplex. ``With the two
companies working this closely together, we expect to improve both the
quality of results and the schedule of advanced SOC design
development.''
