C Level Design Acquires Transmodeling; Opens New Development Facility in Portland, Ore.Business Editors SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2001 Engineering team and technology will be leveraged for next-generation product development C Level Design, Inc., a leading provider of C/C C/C Center to Center C/C Combustion Chamber C/C Command/Control C/C Crew Chief C/C cabin cruiser (US DoD) C/C chief complaint (medical) C/C Channel-to-Channel C/C Communication and Collaboration ++ design and verification solutions, today announced that it has acquired Transmodeling, Inc. (Portland, Ore.) and is expanding engineering by opening up an R&D facility in Beaverton, OR. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. "The acquisition of Transmodeling helps us bolster our market leadership position in C/C++ design technology," said Daniel Skilken, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of C Level Design. "The acquisition is significant for two reasons. First, Transmodeling has already developed significant simulation support for mixed language simulation of C++, HDL (Hardware Description Language) A language used to describe the functions of an electronic circuit for documentation, simulation or logic synthesis (or all three). Although many proprietary HDLs have been developed, Verilog and VHDL are the major standards. , and SystemC through its SystemModeler environment. This will be extremely important as C Level moves towards its next phase of technical and strategic growth. Second, Transmodeling's Portland development center enables us to expand our operations into the incredibly rich talent pool that is available in the Pacific Northwest. The technical expertise and experience of Transmodeling will be extremely valuable as C Level continues to expand its C/C++ design and verification offerings." "Merging Transmodeling with C Level Design will accelerate the adoption of C/C++ design and simulation tools into the mainstream of hardware design," said Steve Westfall, president and CEO of Transmodeling. "Mainstream customers want to use C/C++, but need to have a more complete solution before they can adopt it. The combined strengths of C Level Design's C/C++ synthesis and Transmodeling's simulation offerings will enable us to provide that solution faster than we could do it independently." TransModeling, Inc. was founded in November 1998 to provide C/C++ design and simulation tools for the 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. marketplace. In March 2000, the company announced SystemModeler, the EDA industry's first design environment for the support of the SystemC language. SystemModeler provides an HDL-like environment to create and 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. native ANSI C++ designs and supports co-simulation between C++ or SystemC and VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) A hardware description language (HDL) used to design electronic systems at the component, board and system level. VHDL allows models to be developed at a very high level of abstraction. or Verilog in a distributed simulation environment. C Level Design will be integrating the SystemModeler technology into their current and future products. About C Level Design C Level Design, Inc., the sales and technology leader for C++ design tools was founded in 1997 to develop and market system-level design products for system and hardware designers. The company's products and consulting expertise in C++ enable global electronics companies in the networking, telecommunications and processor market segments to create and verify their designs using ANSI C++ for higher simulation performance and designer productivity, and synthesize those designs for use in their existing RTL (Register Transfer Level) A high-level hardware description language (HDL) for defining digital circuits. The circuits are described as a collection of registers, Boolean equations, control logic such as "if-then-else" statements as well as complex event sequences; HDL design flows. C Level Design is fully committed to supporting industry standards for C++ design and is a member of all the major EDA standards bodies including Accellera and VSIA VSIA Virtual Socket Interface Alliance .
