Synopsys Announces 8th EDA Interoperability Developers' Forum, Fall 2001; Bruce Perens, Co-Founder of the Open Source Initiative, to be Keynote Speaker.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 15, 2001 Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq:SNPS SNPS Space Nuclear Power System ), the technology leader for complex IC designs, today announced the eighth semiannual Synopsys electronic design automation (EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. ) Interoperability Developers' Forum, to be held Oct. 16, 2001 in Sunnyvale, Calif. The October 2001 forum will feature Bruce Perens Information Society 2005 in Tunis speaking on: "Is Free/Open Source Software the Answer?" (Richard Stallman is on Bruce's right. , co-founder of the Open Source Initiative and primary author of The Open Source Definition, who will speak on the Open Source model and the benefits and challenges surrounding open source formats. In addition, Synopsys will present the first "Tenzing Norgay Tenzing Norgay (born May 15, 1914, Tshechu, Tibet [now Tibet Autonomous Region, China]—died May 9, 1986, Darjeeling [now Darjiling], India) Tibetan Sherpa mountaineer. Interoperability Achievement Award" recognizing an EDA company that is helping conquer the challenges of EDA interoperability. Pamela Parrish, executive director, EDA Consortium, remarked, "The EDA Consortium is pleased to see the industry working together to improve EDA interoperability. We in the EDA industry have listened to our design customer's requests for greater interoperability and are delighted to report significant progress." October EDA Interoperability Developers' Forum Topics The October 2001 forum highlights OpenVera(TM), the open source hardware verification language A Hardware Verification Language, or HVL, is a programming language used to verify the designs of electronic circuits written in a hardware description language. HVLs typically include features of a high-level programming language like C++ or Java as well as features for ; the announcement of the Liberty(TM) Screener, a new library screener for producing the highest quality libraries; the open source release of the PLIB PLIB Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau PLIB Program Library PLIB Personal Library PLIB Portable Library PLIB Public Library PLIB Physical Library parser A routine that analyzes a continuous flow of text-based input and breaks it into its constituent parts. See parse. (language) parser - An algorithm or program to determine the syntactic structure of a sentence or string of symbols in some language. for physical library data; and increased support of Liberty's scalable polynomial polynomial, mathematical expression which is a finite sum, each term being a constant times a product of one or more variables raised to powers. With only one variable the general form of a polynomial is a0xn+a delay model (SPDM SPDM Special Purpose Dextrous Manipulator SPDM Scalable Polynomial Delay Model SPDM Single-Particle Density Matrix SPDM Sociedade Portuguesa de Doenças Metabólicas SPDM Sales Promotion Direct Mail ). Additionally, two new online discussion forums for the OpenVera community and for the Liberty users' community will be introduced allowing users to share ideas, provide helpful hints, obtain mainstream technical updates, receive feedback from engineers, and post issues. The October forum will also cover new library modeling aspects of Liberty for 2002 and enhancements to the SDC SDC Silver Dollar City SDC Security Door Controls SDC Student Development Center SDC San Diego Chargers SDC Science Data Center SDC System Development Charges SDC Studebaker Drivers Club SDC San Diego, California (border patrol sector) format for design constraints available now. During the forum, the first "Tenzing Norgay Interoperability Achievement Award" will be presented to an EDA company that has gone beyond what was commonly thought possible in the area of interoperability, has actively looked for overall industry advancement, and has helped provide a new view of the future for EDA interoperability. The recipient will have demonstrated the focus for a new kind of effort in which EDA companies  The external links in this article or section may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies. work together to address customers' need for interoperable design tools. "I look forward to congratulating the first winner of the Tenzing Norgay Interoperability Achievement Award at the October 16th Developers' Forum," said Rich Goldman, chair, EDA Consortium Interoperability Committee, and vice president, Strategic Market Development at Synopsys. "I'm honored to recognize this company's significant contributions in tool interoperability for the benefit of all EDA customers." About the Tenzing Norgay Interoperability Achievement Award Tenzing Norgay, after whom the Interoperability Achievement Award was named, was the Nepalese Sherpa who conquered Mount Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary. Like EDA interoperability and its relationship to design success, Tenzing is not always recognized as the key to Hillary's triumph. Yet without Tenzing's unfailing determination and vision, Hillary would not have made it to the summit. The Tenzing Norgay Interoperability Achievement Award recognizes EDA companies that have the determination and vision to conquer the challenge of EDA interoperability. Interoperability Developers' Forum The Interoperability Developers' Forum, which is a part of Synopsys' program to promote EDA tool interoperability by providing licenses and support of key formats to all EDA vendors, is offered to EDA developers including members of Synopsys' Technology Access Program (TAP-in(SM)) and in-Sync(R) Program. The event series has been well accepted by the EDA community and has experienced steady growth in participation since its inception in 1998.
