The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. has created demand in international markets. To capitalize on this market pull, we are pleased to sign a high caliber distributor like SC Hightech and look forward to establishing a beachhead beach·head n. 1. A position on an enemy shoreline captured by troops in advance of an invading force. 2. A first achievement that opens the way for further developments; a foothold: in Japan this year." "Carbon's single engine solution for hardware regression, software and customer validation is of great interest to chip and system designers in Japan. We expect to get fast traction with top-tier companies that have been searching for an answer to their validation performance problems," added Haruhiko Asanuma, general manager at SC Hightech. About Carbon Design Systems Validation Products Carbon's SPEEDCompiler(TM) software reads synthesizable Verilog and generates a high-performance engine -- DesignPlayer -- that includes an optimized C API for system integration and an interrogation interrogation In criminal law, process of formally and systematically questioning a suspect in order to elicit incriminating responses. The process is largely outside the governance of law, though in the U.S. manager for design 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. . For the first time, a single engine can be used for hardware, software, and customer design validation. DesignPlayer(TM) boosts hardware regression performance and validates drivers, diagnostics, & firmware up to 50X faster over simulation -- with cycle and register accuracy. Hardware designers can now have the cycles they need to run complete regression suites before chip tapeout. Software designers can finally test and debug their code on a high performance, cycle accurate, linkable model. Customers get an executable specification that contains the silicon errata er·ra·ta n. Plural of erratum. for system integration and test. About SC Hightech Division of Sumisho Electronics Co., Ltd. SC Hightech is one of the divisions of Sumisho Electronics Co., Ltd. (SSE).

About Carbon Design Systems Carbon is delivering software products that enable high-performance pre-silicon chip and system validation. Carbon's single engine solution--DesignPlayer--can be used for hardware, software, and customer design validation. The DesignPlayer engine boosts hardware regression performance and validates drivers, diagnostics, & firmware up to 50X faster with cycle and register accuracy. A low-cost executable or linkable model can be deployed across the enterprise and to customers without the encumbrances of a slow simulator. Carbon's new approach shortens schedules and accelerates time-to-profit by enabling validation to occur in parallel with hardware development. Product schedules can be cut significantly, with validation starting as early as the first stable 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; . Problems are found and resolved before fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. -- rather than waiting for custom models to be built or silicon to be delivered.
