Ansoft Joins Novas Harmony Partner Program; Nexxim Integrates With Novas' Verdi Debug System for Rapid Viewing and Exchange of Verification Results
BOSTON—(BUSINESS WIRE)—July 19, 2006—
Ansoft Corporation (NASDAQ:ANST) has collaborated with
Novas Software Inc. to integrate Nexxim(R), Ansoft's circuit
simulation software for high-performance IC design, with Novas'
Verdi(TM) Automated Debug System to create an enhanced verification
solution.
The integration ensures that Nexxim circuit simulation results are
readily available in Novas' open Fast Signal Database (FSDB) format,
linking Nexxim's high-capacity, high-accuracy, circuit simulations
with Verdi's comprehensive debug platform. Designers can use Verdi to
analyze the simulation results and gain insight into complex circuit
behavior. "Integrating our Nexxim high-speed circuit simulation
technology with Novas' advanced debug technology significantly
accelerates design verification and debug for our mutual customers,"
said Eiji Nakamoto, vice president, Ansoft Japan. "Nexxim solves large
circuit designs, resulting in large data sets; Verdi provides
efficient handling of these large data sets. Combining the two
provides a powerful IC design solution."
"The integration of Nexxim and Verdi continues our ongoing effort
to provide debug solutions across a wide range of verification tasks,"
said George Bakewell, director of product marketing at Novas Software.
"As a result of this partnership, our mutual customers can efficiently
debug and analyze the behavior of large circuits verified with
leading-edge circuit simulation technology."
Novas' FSDB format, a core element of the Verdi architecture,
enables fast dumping of simulation results combined with efficient
storage and rapid viewing of large result databases. It is used as a
common interchange format for exchanging SoC verification results
among premier IC design houses and their customers around the world.
