Novas Nominated by EDN Magazine in Its 17th Annual Innovation of the Year Awards Competition.Siloti Visibility Enhancement Product Continues to Garner Industry Recognition for Innovation in Chip Verification 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. -- Novas Software Novas Software was founded in 1996 by Dr. Paul Huang to address the ongoing problem of debugging chip designs. Since then, Novas has grown to employ over 130 people with office locations across the world including Texas, New Hampshire, the United Kingdom, Japan, Korea, India, , Inc., the leader in 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. and visibility enhancement solutions for complex chip designs, today announced that its Siloti[TM] Visibility Enhancement (VE) software has been selected from a field of hundreds as a finalist for the 2006 EDN Innovator/Innovation Awards. This exclusive awards program honors the people, products and technologies that have shaped the semiconductor industry over the past year. Novas' Siloti VE product was selected as a Innovation Award finalist in the IC Front-End Design and Verification category, and was also featured in EDN Magazine's "Hot 100 Products of 2006." Introduced to the market in March 2006, the Novas Siloti VE product transforms verification methodologies by eliminating the overhead associated with dumping data for all the signals in a design. This patent-pending technology provides full visibility of internal signals by identifying the minimal set of signals for dumping, generating "on-demand" cycle-accurate data for the remaining signals, and correlating gate-level results to the register transfer level (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; ) source code. Used during full-chip simulation, emulation and first-silicon prototyping, Siloti VE increases design visibility by approximately 5X and cuts debug cycles by as much as 4X, while also reducing the size of simulation dump files by 50 percent. Novas' Siloti VE has been recognized for innovation in chip verification by several other prestigious industry organizations and global media outlets. These include selection as DesignVision Award Finalist by the International Engineering Consortium (IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iec.ch) An organization that sets international electrical and electronics standards founded in 1906. It is made up of national committees from over 60 countries. IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission ), "2007 Best in Test" Honorable Mention by Test & Measurement World Magazine, and Product of the Year by Electronique Magazine. EDN Innovator/Innovation of the Year EDN's worldwide audience of electronics engineers and engineering managers will choose the ultimate winners of the 2006 Innovator/Innovation of the Year Awards through an online ballot. Voting takes place between February 2 and February 28, 2007. EDN's editorial staff and Editorial Advisory Board also take part in determining final winners. Voters are encouraged to review the Siloti VE nomination by visiting www.edn.com/innovation. All finalists will be honored and winning products announced at a black-tie ceremony on April 2, 2007, in San Jose.
