Mentor Graphics and Synopsys Offer SystemVerilog Seminars for Users of the Verisity e Language

Industry Leaders to Demonstrate Immediate Benefits of Using SystemVerilog for Advanced Verification

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., and WILSONVILLE, Ore., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire- FirstCall/ -- Two leaders in advanced verification solutions -- Mentor Graphics (NASDAQ: MENT) and Synopsys (NASDAQ: SNPS) -- are presenting a series of free "eScape to SystemVerilog" technical seminars that provide guidance to users of Verisity's e language to transition to a standards-based verification methodology built on SystemVerilog. The first set of seminars in this worldwide series will take place in San Jose on March 2, 2005. Subsequent seminars will take place in Dallas and Boston, with additional locations in North America, Europe, Israel, Japan, Korea, India and Taiwan to be added at a later date.

The "eScape to SystemVerilog" technical seminars will provide practical demonstrations on how users of Verisity's e language can apply SystemVerilog to speed verification and find more bugs, faster. Attendees will learn about SystemVerilog's verification capabilities and gain insight on leveraging these capabilities to increase productivity and design quality. Extensive practical examples will be used to illustrate the verification concepts and methods presented.

"SystemVerilog delivers tremendous benefits for the electronics industry," said Manoj Gandhi, senior vice president and general manager, Verification Group at Synopsys. "Synopsys pioneered the SystemVerilog standardization effort with multiple technology donations and continues to lead with broad support in our design and verification tools. SystemVerilog's unified design and verification capabilities help enable customers to achieve significant productivity gains as compared to point-tool solutions."

"The interest in SystemVerilog is very strong," said Robert Hum, vice president and general manager, Design Verification and Test Division at Mentor Graphics. "Many companies and organizations that have led the evolution in verification by using proprietary languages such as e are transitioning to a standards-based verification methodology built on SystemVerilog. Mentor Graphics has always taken the lead on supporting standards and continues to do so with its Scalable Verification(TM) solution based on SystemVerilog."

Experts in verification methodology and SystemVerilog language features will present the "eScape to SystemVerilog" seminars in an engineering, application-focused fashion. Topics to be covered include language basics, constrained-random test generation, abstraction and reuse, functional coverage, inter-process communication, assertions and verification environment structure.
