Aldec and Agnisys Partner to offer Closed Loop Verification Management to meet challenges in Verification of Modern Designs

Henderson, NV – September 13, 2011 – Aldec, Inc., a pioneer in mixed-language simulation and advanced design tools for ASIC and FPGA devices, today announced that it has forged a partnership with Agnisys, Inc. to collectively offer closed loop verification of digital designs.

Every complex verification environment has numerous data sources which need to be managed – design and verification source code, regression data, bug tracking data, requirements, verification plans and more. Collating and mining these data sources provides an opportunity for verification teams to reduce their costs and get to faster verification closure.

“This partnership will enable Riviera-PRO™ customers to speed up the verification process, have a clear verification analysis capability and spend less time doing verification management and debug. The IVerifySpec™ tool from Agnisys combines information from all available sources pertaining to verification and gives the user the ability to monitor and control verification from a single location.” said Igor Tsapenko, Director of Research and Development.

“Large Verification projects need tools such as Rivera-PRO™. It’s openness and ease of use made it possible for us to easily link it with IVerifySpec™. The capabilities of Aldec’s simulation engine and IVerifySpec™ are complementary, so this is a very valuable strategic partnership for us.” said Anupam Bakshi, CEO at Agnisys, Inc.
