SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 1, 2002--Get2Chip Inc.,
the electronic design automation (EDA) supplier of multi-level,
system-on-chip (SOC) synthesis, today formally launched its G2C
University Connections Program, created for qualified universities and
training institutes worldwide. Get2Chip's G2C-RTL Compiler (RC) and
G2C-Architectural Compiler (AC) are currently offered as part of this
program.
"It's vastly important for universities training electrical
engineers to stay current with new and emerging technologies and
methodologies," says program director Taher Abbasi, Get2Chip's
director of Asia Operations. "Our University Connections Program is
designed to give university students hands-on experience with the
latest synthesis technology."
Qualifying universities today include the University of California

Universities must offer graduate and post-graduate courses on
application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design and/or do
research design projects using logic synthesis at different
abstraction levels. In exchange, they receive special pricing on
Get2Chip's software and access to its technical support team. They
will also receive template designs and getting started scripts, along
with access to online product training.
Finally, Get2Chip includes packaged semester-long course
curriculum with three alternative application domain tracks with
