Aldec HES™ Co-emulation named a finalist in this year’s ARM® TechCon Innovation ChallengeDate: Oct 29, 2015 Type: ReleaseHenderson, NV – October 29, 2015 - Aldec, Inc., a pioneer in mixed HDL language simulation and hardware-assisted verification solutions for system and ASIC designs, is proud to be named a finalist for Best Software Product in the ARM® TechCon Innovation Challenge for its HES™ Co-emulation solution. With newly added support for ARM Fast Models, HES delivers unprecedented value to software engineers who can benefit from combined speed of emulation and virtual prototyping. “Standard SoC blocks are typically simulated in the virtual platform separately from custom IPs, but our hardworking engineers have helped bridge this gap,” said Krzysztof Szczur, Aldec hardware technical support manager. “In the words of famous sports journalist, Howard Cosell, ‘The ultimate victory in competition is derived from the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your best and that you have gotten the most out of what you had to give’. In this sense, we have achieved our ultimate victory in delivering HES-DVM™ and its integration with ARM Fast Models, an unprecedented hybrid verification platform for SoC designs and embedded software bring-up.” Reader’s Choice Winner to be Announced at ARM TechCon ARM TechCon Innovation finalists, chosen by a panel of EDN/EE Times editors and ARM experts, will now face a Reader’s Choice Vote in the categories of Best Software Product, Best Chip Product, Best System, and Best IoT Product. Winners will be announced at ARM TechCon, November 10-12, 2015 in Santa Clara, Calif. Aldec engineers will also be on hand at ARM TechCon Booth #623 to demonstrate HES’s hybrid emulation capability.
