Springer Science and Business Media announce Metric Driven Design Verification: An Engineer's and Executive's Guide to First Pass Success
Verification Veterans Hamilton Carter and Shankar Hemmady Address Key
Areas of Process Automation, Verification Management and Planning in
Much Anticipated Book
SAN FRANCISCO—(BUSINESS WIRE)—July 24, 2006—
The industry leading publisher Springer Science + Business Media
today announced the impending release of thirty new titles many of
which will be on display at the conference in San Francisco, July
24-28. Headlining the group is the much anticipated forthcoming text
by Hamilton Carter and Shankar Hemmady, titled Metric Driven Design
Verification: An Engineer's and Executive's Guide to First Pass
Success. Carter and Hemmady's work is slated to become the definitive
work on hardware and software verification planning and management,
and a must-have for anyone responsible for the functional verification
of hardware and software designs.
Carter and Hemmady's book addresses the subject of effective
verification planning and management. Currently a Core Competency
Engineer at Cadence Design Systems (NASDAQ:CDNS), Hamilton Carter has
been awarded 14 patents that address efficient sequencers for
verification simulators, MESI cache coherency verification and
component based re-usable verification systems. Mr. Carter worked on
verification of the K5, K6 and K7 processors and their chipsets at
AMD. He managed the first functional verification team at Cirrus Logic
as well as over 20 commercial chips and EDA projects. Shankar Hemmady
is a senior manager at Cadence responsible for verification planning,
methodology and management solutions. Mr. Hemmady has verified, or
managed the functional closure of over 25 commercial chips during his
tenure in the industry as an engineer, manager and consultant at
companies including AMD, Cirrus Logic, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard,
Intel, S3, Sun and Xerox.
According to Dr. Manuel d'Abreu, AMD Fellow, "Carter and Hemmady's
new book is the first to introduce a systematic methodology for
effectively executing and managing verification projects. It addresses
the needs of engineering executives, while also instructing design and
verification engineers on planning what needs to be verified to meet
customers' quality demands -- and how to go about accomplishing it in
a timely manner within budget."
"We believe that semiconductor companies that make the most
effective use of metric driven methodologies will dominate the
industry," said Anoop Khurana, former Vice President of Engineering at
Ikanos Communications and S3. "With mask costs exceeding the million
dollar mark and fab cycles approaching 3 months there is no room for
error. This excellent and comprehensive book on verification project
management, the first of its kind, could not have come at a better
time."
Springer Science + Business Media, the publishers of the new text,
is proud to announce this forthcoming new book and feels it will
become an essential tool for every design or verification manager and
their team members. A November 06 publication is scheduled.
In addition to this book, Springer will be announcing over thirty
new titles at this year's Design Automation Conference. Interested
parties can visit Springer at booth number 3655 at the conference. For
