Synopsys and KAIST Renew Commitment to Training; Renewal of University Program Licenses Marks Seventh Year of Access to Synopsys Tools and Technology for 56 Korean Universities.Business & News Editors/High-Tech and Education Writers SEOUL, Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 14, 2002 Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq:SNPS SNPS Space Nuclear Power System ), the technology leader for complex integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for (IC) design, and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology  This article reads like a news release, or is otherwise written in an overly promotional tone.Please help [ rewrite this article] from a to be less promotional, per Wikipedia . (KAIST KAIST Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology ) today announced the signing of a licensing agreement for the seventh year under the Synopsys University Program. This agreement allows KAIST to distribute Synopsys licensed products to a widespread network of 56 participating universities. To date, thousands of graduates have benefited from the Synopsys University Program in Korea, achieving the technical skill needed to leverage 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. tools to produce the next generation of complex integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. (ICs) and system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The long-term relationship between KAIST and Synopsys highlights the spirit of cooperation and trust that Synopsys has built with Korean universities. Under the terms of the Synopsys University Program, professors and students have licensed access to Synopsys' electronic design automation (EDA) technology for education in silicon design and test techniques. Technology provided as part of the program includes Design Compiler(TM) synthesis, VCS (1) (Verilog Computer Simulator) See Verilog. (2) (Version Control System) See version control. (TM) simulation, DFT DFT - discrete Fourier transform Compiler and TetraMAX(R) test products, and DesignWare(R) intellectual property (IP) libraries. This year, SystemC-based system-level design and verification tools are included for the first time, featuring SystemC simulation and synthesis (CoCentric(R) System Studio and CoCentric SystemC Compiler). "Synopsys' University Program not only enables Korean engineering students to use and learn Synopsys technology, it also equips them to solve the toughest design problems using state-of-the-art design tools when they enter the work force," said Professor Chong-Min Kyung, professor of the Department of Electrical and Computer Science and head of the Integrated Circuit Design Education Center at KAIST. "Aided by our positive relationship with Synopsys and the company's generous support, students at the universities have successfully designed and implemented thousands of ICs and SoCs for educational purposes, in the form of multi-project wafers." Korean universities make up more than 50 of the more than 450 universities participating in the worldwide Synopsys University Program. Under this program, Synopsys provides a complete suite of EDA software for only a minimal administrative fee. The current commercial value of Synopsys-licensed software at Korean universities is greater than USD USD In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the U.S. Dollar. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. $380 million. "It's important to support educational institutions of higher learning higher learning n. Education or academic accomplishment at the college or university level. with the latest EDA tools in order to prepare the next generation of engineers for complex silicon design," said Gerd Schlitt, Asia Pacific vice president for Synopsys. "Synopsys has reached thousands of students and professors worldwide since it began working with universities in 1986, and we're proud to be a part of the ongoing success in fostering innovation at Korean universities. Synopsys highly values KAIST's role in providing EDA technology and tools offered through the Synopsys program to Korea's higher educational institutions." About Synopsys University Program The Synopsys University Program provides universities worldwide with state-of-the-art electronic design automation (EDA) tools and technology to support education, enable academic research, foster innovation and promote careers in EDA. Synopsys software is installed in more than 450 educational institutions worldwide.
