CoWare to Showcase its ESL Design Solutions at Upcoming Design Automation Conference, June 7-11 in San Diego
CoWareŽ Inc. will showcase its latest technologies and products for electronic system level (ESL) design including tools for hardware/software co-design, architecture of optimized SoC platforms, creation of embedded processors, and DSP algorithms during the Design Automation Conference (DAC), to be held in San Diego, Calif., June 7-11, 2004 ( http://www.dac.com/ ). The company will also offer ESL and SystemC-focused seminars, panels, paper presentations and events at the conference.
Attendees can register to attend two one-hour mini-seminars, given in the CoWare suite at various times throughout the conference:
• "SystemC & TLM: Learn from the Experts" This mini-tutorial will help attendees understand transaction-level modeling (TLM), including information about the new OSCI standard and the ESL solutions that can be built from it. Technical experts from the OSCI TLM working group will be on hand to answer questions.
• "Application-Specific Instruction-set Processors (ASIPs): What are they and why are they Important for SoC Design?" Through practical information and customer success stories, this seminar will address how ASIPs can add flexibility and reduce risk compared to fixed hardware, as well as help reduce power and time-to-market, increase performance, and improve hardware and software re-use.
In the CoWare booth, number 1844, attendees can see demonstrations of CoWare's ESL design tools, including the latest releases of its ConvergenSCT system-level design solution featuring the industry's fastest SystemC simulator and the LISATekT suite of tools for embedded processor modeling, design, and software tool generation. There will also be a demonstration entitled "ConvergenSC ESL Design-for-Verification" featuring the latest integration between the ConvergenSC and Cadence Incisive products. Attendees can also talk to an expert about this integration in the Cadence booth, where CoWare will be participating in Cadence's "Tech Talk" sessions.
Attendees can stop by the CoWare booth theatre to learn about ESL solution flows and the ESL ecosystem, featuring presentations from CoWare and its CoTeam partners. Every theatre presentation attendee will receive a gift and have the opportunity to be entered into a daily drawing for an Apple iPod. Attendees can also register to see several additional demonstrations of CoWare's tools and integrated flows available in the CoWare suite.
CoWare and Cadence are sponsoring an ESL Design & Verification Breakfast on Wednesday, June 9, from 7:30 am to 9:00 a.m. in the Convention Center room 24ABC. At the event, experts will discuss worldwide economic and technological pressures driving adoption of ESL methods for design and verification. Representatives of major companies that have already made the move to ESL will discuss their experiences.
Alan Naumann, CoWare president & CEO, will moderate a panel session on remaining competitive in today's economy. This session will examine globalization, patents, intellectual property management, and strategic marketing. Each talk will cover a broad spectrum of approaches applicable to design, EDA, and IP-based companies.
