Summit Design Upgrades Its Membership in the Open SystemC Initiative to the Corporate Level; Assumes Driving Role in OSCI With Increased Investment and Commitment to SystemC
LOS ALTOS, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—March 13, 2006—
Summit Design, Inc., a leading provider of electronic
system-level (ESL) and hardware description language (HDL) design
solutions, announced today that it has upgraded its membership in the
Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI) from the Associate Corporate level to
the Corporate level. Summit plans to take a more driving role within
OSCI by working with the other board members on strategies for
continued development and proliferation of SystemC. Summit will
continue its technical contributions to the various working groups,
with special emphasis upon transaction-level modeling (TLM).
"For the past several years, Summit Design has been very active
within OSCI, working to contribute to the standardization process
while assisting growing numbers of SystemC users to successfully adopt
SystemC-based tools and methodologies," said Emil Girczyc, president
and CEO of Summit Design, Inc. "Today, Summit offers a robust suite of
SystemC-based solutions for performance modeling, architectural
design, and graphical SystemC authoring while also providing an
advanced integrated development environment (IDE) for SystemC
debugging and verification. Given Summit's increased investment and
commitment to SystemC, the upgrade in our membership was a natural
progression."
Summit has raised SystemC awareness and promoted adoption though
various seminars and SystemC workshops around the globe. In addition,
Summit works closely with other SystemC players to build state-of-art
SystemC-based ESL flows and solutions.
"OSCI has seen a tremendous increase in the production use of
SystemC, along with continued strong growth in the SystemC ecosystem,"
stated Mike Meredith, president of OSCI. "We are pleased that Summit
has upgraded their membership to the corporate level as it is through
the many generous contributions of our members and language supporters
that we have enabled a healthy SystemC movement."
Summit plans to lend strong support to the deployment of the IEEE
1666 standard and to take a deepening support role within the TLM
Working Group. The company will strive to promote interoperability and
the openness of solutions in the system-level design space. Summit
also hopes to promote stronger convergence between the synthesis,
verification, TLM and language working groups.
