NEC CORPORATION STANDARDIZES ON VERPLEX FORMAL VERIFICATION TOOLS.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. Corporation has endorsed Conformal con·for·mal adj. 1. Mathematics Designating or specifying a mapping of a surface or region upon another surface so that all angles between intersecting curves remain unchanged. 2. Logic Equivalence Checker (LEC (1) (LAN Emulation Client) A software driver that provides LAN emulation (LANE) in an ATM network. It resides in an ATM end station or in a computer system that provides the LAN to ATM conversion, often known as a LAN access device. See LANE. ) from Verplex Systems, Inc., as the formal verification
In the context of hardware and software systems, formal verification standard for use in all of its worldwide technology development and designated it an OpenCAD software tool. OpenCAD is NEC's integrated, large-scale system-on-chip (SOC) design and development environment. Conformal LEC is now available for NEC's 0.13-micron process technology, and will be available to support all future technologies. Previously, Conformal LEC supported NEC's 0.18-micron process technology. "Because our customer designs are complex and highly advanced, we need to offer a high-speed and reliable formal verification solution," says Nobuyuki Nishiguchi, NEC's department manager of design methodology, Systems LSI LSI: see integrated circuit. (Large Scale Integration) Between 3,000 and 100,000 transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, VLSI and ULSI. Design Engineering Division. "Conformal LEC from Verplex offers them the highest accuracy, ease-of-use and reliable quality of results." Adds Masabumi Doi, director of DA Solutions Division, Marubeni Solutions, Verplex Systems' distributor in Japan: "We worked with Verplex Systems to ensure the latest version of Conformal LEC meets the unique requirements of NEC's design environment for large-scale SOCs and provides a seamless flow for their customers." "NEC's worldwide reputation as a first-class supplier of high-speed ASICs and leading-edge design environment makes this an important and welcomed endorsement," affirms Tom Senna senna, any plant of the genus Sennia (formerly placed in Cassia), leguminous herbs, shrubs, and trees of the family Leguminosae (pulse family), most common in warm regions. , vice president of marketing and Business Development. "It will benefit our mutual customers by increasing their overall design quality while decreasing their time to market." [sections] |
