Synopsys EDA Interoperability Forum to Feature Subodh Bapat Keynote on Green Computing

Topics include System-Level Design, VMM Verification Methodology and a multi-tool IPL Flow Demonstration

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNPS) , a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design, verification and manufacturing, today announced that its 22nd electronic design automation (EDA) Interoperability Forum will feature keynote speaker Subodh Bapat, vice president, energy efficiency and distinguished engineer at Sun Microsystems, on the topic of “Groovy Green Computing: Battling the Mushrooming Use of Power.”
WHO: The event is recommended for EDA tool developers, IC design engineers, and IP providers to discuss the industry-critical topics of interoperability and standards.
WHAT: The November 2009 Forum focuses on the latest developments in EDA interoperability with sessions dedicated to:
The Interoperable Process Design Kit (PDK) Libraries Alliance:

— Demonstration by key IPL Alliance members showing a single 90nm
generic interoperable PDK supporting multiple vendor tools and flows
including schematic capture, simulation, layout editing, physical
verification and extraction

System-Level Design:

— Hear the latest developments in SystemC(TM) TLM-2.0 through the
experiences of JEDA(TM) Technologies, Carbon Design Systems(TM) and
Tensilica.

VMM Verification Methodology:

— Presentations from key VMM Catalyst program members on new features in
VMM for verification planning and VIP, verification of low power
designs, rapid testbench development and more. Attendees will receive
a copy of the Doulos® Golden Reference Guide for VMM.

The Forum, with this year’s theme of “Peace, Love and Interoperability,” also features the most recent advances in these key EDA standards: Liberty(TM) Library Modeling, IEEE Standard 1801(TM) for Low Power, and the HapsTrak(TM) standard for prototyping board connectors.
WHEN: Thursday, November 5th in Santa Clara, Calif. The Forum is open to all who wish to attend at no cost. Lunch and a light breakfast are included.

WHERE: The Sun Conference Center at Agnews Historic Park in Santa Clara, Calif. from 9:00am to 5:00pm. For more information, directions, and to register, visit: http://www.synopsys.com/Community/Interoperability/Pages/InteropForumNov09.asp x

A game-changer for IP designers: design-stage verification

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

In this new technical paper, you’ll gain valuable insights into how, by moving physical verification earlier in the IP design flow, you can locate and correct design errors sooner, reducing costs and getting complex designs to market faster. Dive into the challenges of hard, soft and custom IP creation, and learn how to run targeted, real-time or on-demand physical verification with precision, earlier in the layout process.

How to Implement Protection and Power Management ICs for Super Capacitors
Many super capacitor applications require protection and power backup. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Pete Pytlik from Littelfuse explore the benefits of protection and power management ICs for super capacitor applications. They also investigate how these IC solutions compare with discrete solutions, and the advantages that Littelfuse protection and power management ICs bring to super capacitor applications.
