Denali Software and Silicon Storage Technology Partner to Speed SST Flash Memory Models to Designers.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers PALO ALTO Palo Alto, city, California Palo Alto (păl`ō ăl`tō), city (1990 pop. 55,900), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1894. Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 5, 2001 System Designers Gain Immediate Access to Simulation Models For SST SST: see airplane. Flash Devices Through eMemory.com Denali Software Denali Software, Inc. is an American software company, based in Palo Alto, California. The company produces electronic design automation (EDA) software and intellectual property (IP) design cores for memory and other standard interfaces. , Inc. announced a collaborative effort with Silicon Storage Technology, Inc In the late 1980s, Bing Yeh and his cofounder assembled a small team of engineers in a rented office on Apollo Way in Sunnyvale, Calif., to develop a new breed of nonvolatile memory technology—SuperFlash—for code or data storage in electronic systems and embedded memory for . (Nasdaq:SSTI SSTI State Science & Technology Institute (Westerville, OH) SSTI Skin and Soft Tissue Infection SSTI Small Spacecraft Technology Initiative SSTI Skin and Skin Structure Infection SSTI Six Sigma Technical Institute ) (SST) to provide simulation models for SST's 39 series Multi-Purpose Flash memory devices. The partnership enables Denali and SST to give electronic system designers instant access to models for the latest SST Flash components. Designers use the models to simulate the SST Flash devices and verify the interface between the system designs and flash memory. The SST 39 series Flash models are available now at www.eMemory.com/sst-flash. "Working with SST, we can help the design community speed the integration of flash technology into system designs," said Sanjay Srivastava, 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 Denali. "Our customers are designing complex systems and need to perform system simulation early in their design process," said Derek Best, SST's senior vice president of sales and marketing. "The instant availability of accurate simulation models gives our customers a time-to-market advantage in designing with SST Flash." The SST Flash devices are modeled in Denali's SOMA (Specification Of Memory Architecture) format, which enables designers to use models with all popular electronic design automation tools. SOMA is the de-facto standard for characterizing semiconductor memory for the design and verification of complex electronic systems. Denali's eMemory.com provides the design community with SOMA files for more than 3000 memory components, including SST's 39 series Flash devices. Denali and SST also implemented an automated notification system through eMemory.com that automatically alerts designers when a specification has changed, and provides them with an updated version of the associated models. About the Memory Vendor Program The mission of Denali's Memory Vendor Program (MVP (Multimedia Video Processor) A high-speed DSP chip from Texas Instruments, introduced in 1994. Officially introduced as the TMS320C80, it combines RISC technology with the functionality of four DSPs on one chip. ) is to give designers instant access to high-quality simulation models for their designs. Program partners are assured timely and comprehensive SOMA model coverage for their memory products. The SOMA models are made available at www.eMemory.com, a web site that provides early access to models of new memory devices and automatically alerts registered users of specification changes and new product releases. Current MVP partners include AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. , Fujitsu, Hitachi, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) Microelectronics, Micron Technology, Mitsubishi, NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. , Sharp, SST, and Toshiba. About Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.
