Andrew Yang, EDA Entrepreneur and Angel Investor, CEO of Apache Design Solutions.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 2002 Company, Funded by Intel Capital, Yang, and Andy Bechtolsheim, Tackles Physical Design Integrity Issues Launched by leading experts in the physical design of integrated circuits and systems-on-a-chip, Apache Design Solutions today announced that Andrew Yang, Ph.D., an electronic design automation (EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. ) entrepreneur and angel investor, has been named chief executive officer of the company. Dr. Yang co-founded Apache in March 2001 with Dr. Shen Shen, in the Bible, place, perhaps close to Bethel, near which Samuel set up the stone Ebenezer. Lin and Dr. Norman Chang to develop solutions for the physical design integrity problems that plague subwavelength chip designs in the consumer, communications, networking and semiconductor markets. The physical design integrity tool suite that Apache is developing will include solutions for power, timing, and I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output integrity. Apache's solution will be interoperable with all commercially available physical design tools at the early stage of the design flow. When ready for market, Apache's products are expected to establish new levels of computational performance, coupled with the operating capacity needed to handle the next generation of complex hierarchical chip designs. For the three years prior to co-founding Apache, Dr. Yang was a private venture investor and served as a board member and advisor to several EDA companies including Sapphire, Innologic, CADMOS, and Ultima. In 1993, Dr. Yang founded Anagram anagram [Gr.,=something read backward], rearrangement of the letters of a word or words to make another word or other words. A famous Latin anagram was an answer made out of a question asked by Pilate. , Inc., which provided high-capacity simulation solutions for deep-submicron ICs. After merging Anagram with Avant! Corporation in 1996, Dr. Yang became vice president of the Analysis Product Division, responsible for Avant!'s extraction and the analysis products. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois University of Illinois may refer to:
