Concurrent with Nahman's appointment, the scope of the High Level Design Group has been expanded. The operations of Vantage and Chronologic Simulation, Viewlogic companies which develop and market high speed simulation tools for the 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. and Verilog hardware description languages, respectively, have been added to the previous HLD group that included Viewlogic's synthesis and ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. design solutions as well as the test tools from Sunrise Test Systems. HLD's mission is to provide a comprehensive, high-performance solution for customers faced with deep sub-micron technology design challenges, by advancing synergies between the group's leading-edge point tools. The executive appointments announced today complete the process begun in November of 1994 when Viewlogic announced a major re-organization which created four business groups. Each group focuses on specific requirements of customers in different segments of the electronic design market: High Level Design; High Performance Analysis; Systems Design/Powerview UNIX-based design environment; and Workview PLUS/PRO Series PC-based design environment. Each group has responsibility for product development, product marketing, customer support and training. All four of the groups are supported by Viewlogic's unique, multi-channel distribution structure. Art Reidel, who had been handling both the HLD Group as well as Business Development, will now concentrate totally on strategic planning Strategic planning is an organization's process of defining its strategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating its resources to pursue this strategy, including its capital and people. and business development.
