ADVISORY/Tera Systems' CEO Tommy Eng to Participate in Panel on RTL Signoff at DAC 2002 in New Orleans on June 12WHAT: Panel titled, "Whither (or Wither?) ASIC Handoff," chaired by Michael Santarini
(BUSINESS WIRE)--
ABSTRACT: The traditional ASIC netlist handoff is changing -- but to
what? Is RTL handoff finally a reality? Or, will a placement-based
handoff model emerge? Are differences among underlying tool
technologies and methodologies only cosmetic? Or, are there
fundamental business and IP distinctions? These and other questions
will be discussed as the panel examines the future of the designer --
ASIC vendor -- EDA vendor relationship.

About Tera Systems
Tera Systems, Inc. is the leader in Hardware Description Language
(HDL)-based design planning technology for use by designers of complex
System-on-Chip (SoC) semiconductors. The company's products provide
early visibility into design quality, performance, and
manufacturability issues with the goal of preventing downstream
problems with synthesis and physical design processes. Using the Tera
Systems tools, SoC designers can ensure timing convergence and
superior performance before reaching back-end layout or actual silicon
where the costs of design errors or changes are extraordinarily high.
Tera Systems partners with leading semiconductor vendors to develop
highly predictable design methodologies and "golden" tool flows that
dramatically accelerate the SoC design cycle. For more information,
