EVE to Exhibit Hardware-Assisted Verification Platform at DesignCon

Continuous Demonstrations of ZeBu Planned

SAN JOSE, Calif. –– Feb. 6, 2006 – EVE will demonstrate its new, ultra high-speed hardware-assisted verification platform tomorrow and Wednesday (February 7-8) from 12:30-6:30 p.m. at DesignCon 2006 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, Calif.

EVE's ZeBu (for Zero Bugs) employs a breakthrough hardware and software architecture that removes the drawbacks of traditional field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based verification systems. It offers debugging and ease-of-use capabilities of the best hardware emulation systems with the performance and price of FPGA prototypes. Using ZeBu, systems-on-chip (SOC) design teams can accelerate hardware debugging as well as integrate and test embedded software.

At DesignCon, EVE will demonstrate ZeBu-UF, its new PCI card-based system. ZeBu-UF will run an MPEG4 decoder processing a video clip at 32MHz, which is faster than the speed of the actual MPEG4 decoder. The demo shows the simultaneous debug of hardware and software, also known as hardware/software co-verification.
