Ansoft Joins Novas Harmony Partner Program; Nexxim Integrates With Novas' Verdi Debug System for Rapid Viewing and Exchange of Verification Results.BOSTON -- Ansoft Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ANST ANST Association of Neuropsychology Students in Training ANST After Negative Skin Test ) has collaborated with Novas Software Novas Software was founded in 1996 by Dr. Paul Huang to address the ongoing problem of debugging chip designs. Since then, Novas has grown to employ over 130 people with office locations across the world including Texas, New Hampshire, the United Kingdom, Japan, Korea, India, Inc. to integrate Nexxim(R), Ansoft's circuit simulation software Simulation software is based on the process of imitating a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program. for high-performance IC design, with Novas' Verdi(TM) Automated Debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. 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 FSDB Florida School for the Deaf and Blind FSDB Filesystem Database FSDB Finance Service Delivery Branch ) 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. About Novas Novas Software Inc. is the leading provider of design comprehension solutions for engineers designing complex ICs, embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. and SoCs. Novas' Verdi automated debug and Siloti(TM) visibility enhancement products dramatically accelerate the process for understanding and correcting design problems starting from system-level specification through silicon implementation.
