Real Intent Joins the Cadence Connections Program
Collaboration extends formal verification products to Cadence simulation users
Santa Clara, Calif., June 25, 2001  ––  Real Intent, an EDA company that offers formal register transfer level (RTL) functional verification products, announced today its membership in the Cadence Design Systems, Inc. Connections® Program.

The joint effort benefits customers by reinforcing and strengthening the interoperability between Cadence hardware description language (HDL) simulators and synthesis tools with Real Intent's Verix formal verification products.

Dr. Narain, President and CEO of Real Intent, noted, "We are focused on improving verification productivity by adding powerful, easy-to-use advanced formal verification tools to simulation-based verification flows. By joining the Connections Program we have access to Cadence® NC-Sim Verilog, VHDL-based simulation, and BuildGates® synthesis tools to verify smooth working design flows for our common customers."

Verix is Real Intent's pioneering intent-driven formal RTL verification system that ensures a design is free from a large class of errors early in the design cycle prior to simulation and synthesis. It speeds the design of high-end semiconductors and systems-on-chip by verifying that the design implements the designer's intent, at the RTL.

"Bringing interfacing solutions to customers is what Connections is about," said Pat Dutrow, director of the Connections Program at Cadence. "The interoperability between Real Intent's Verix and Cadence simulator and synthesis tools will provide greater customer satisfaction for both companies."

Verix is available now, and runs on the Unix OS from Sun Microsystems (Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq: SUNW) and Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE: HWP) and the popular Linux operating system from Red Hat (Nasdaq: RHAT)).
