Latest Product Developments
-- The new Siloti(TM) Visibility Enhancement products
Transform late stage verification and system validation
methodologies by eliminating the overhead associated with
dumping data for all the signals in a design.
-- Novas' flagship Verdi(TM) Automated Debug System
New features include support for SystemVerilog Assertions
(SVA) for the debug and analysis of assertions and
transactions.
Novas DAC Seminars

Novas Elsewhere at DAC
-- Session on in-system silicon debug
DAC Special Session #2 ("Why Doesn't My System
Work?"). Tuesday, July 25th from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM in
Room 307.
Give the Gift of Sight
Novas is once again donating its DAC giveaway budget to charity,
and this year is working with the "Give the Gift of Sight" -- an
organization that has provided free eye care and glasses to more than
four million people in need around the world. DAC attendees can drop
off old eyeglasses or sunglasses in the Novas booth. Give the Gift of
Sight will clean, repair and classify the glasses by prescription,
then personally deliver them on Give the Gift of Sight international
optical missions. Donors will be entered into the daily drawing to win
a pair of night vision goggles for each set of eyeglasses donated at
the Novas booth. Additionally, Novas will make a corporate
contribution of $5,000.
