(NASDAQ: JAVA[3]) is an American vendor of computers, computer components, computer software, and information-technology services, founded on 24 February 1982. , Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation located in Chelmsford, Mass. and Sun Microelectronics located in Sunnyvale, Calif. The multi-million dollar purchase order includes the System Realizer emulation system and services in a multi-frame multi-million gate configuration. "Sun maintains its leadership in the highly competitive workstation marketplace by getting our products out early and right the first time. We chose Quickturn over other competitors because of their technical expertise and advanced technology," said Willis Hendley, Engineering Manager for Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation, Chelmsford, Mass. "We are excited about using Quickturn's emulation technology for the verification of our next generation UltraSPARC and Java processors," stated Sunil P. Joshi, Director of CAD/Design Methodology for Sun Microelectronics, Sunnyvale, Calif. "Quickturn is very pleased to continue our long term partnership with Sun. This contract with Sun is a strong vote of confidence from one of our most technically demanding customers," said Keith R.

Widely recognized as a proponent of open standards Specifications for hardware and software that are developed by a standards organization or a consortium involved in supporting a standard. Available to the public for developing compliant products, open standards imply "open systems;" that an existing component in a system can be replaced , the company is involved in the design, manufacture and sale of products, technologies and services for commercial and technical computing. Sun Microsystems was founded in 1982 and is headquartered in Mountain View, Calif. Quickturn Design Systems Inc. designs and manufactures reprogrammable emulation products for system-level verification of electronic designs for high-performance computing, multimedia, graphics and communications markets. Its emulation products create a "virtual silicon" representation of designs to permit concurrent verification of ASICs and full custom ICs with system hardware and software. HDL-ICE, a software package that addresses higher levels of abstraction, allows the designer to emulate an HDL (Hardware Description Language) A language used to describe the functions of an electronic circuit for documentation, simulation or logic synthesis (or all three). Although many proprietary HDLs have been developed, Verilog and VHDL are the major standards. representation of a chip, providing significant time savings and 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. capabilities. The ability to create a complete working system in both an in-circuit and gate-level environment prior to IC fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. results in improved design quality, lower overall development costs and faster Time-to-Market.
