80 Word Final Program Company Abstract

Tharas Systems' Hammer provides Verilog, VHDL and mixed language accelerated simulations with the fastest compile and run-times, while at the same time offering ease of use and debug capabilities comparable to that of software simulators. Compile times are as fast as 50 Million RTL Gates per hour on a single workstation vs. several hours per Million RTL gate-equivalent for competing FPGA-based systems. Run-times can be as fast as 10,000 times the software simulators. Hammer's innovative hardware architecture is based on the state-of-the-art custom processor technology that outflanks Rent?s Rule and a proprietary backplane that delivers more than 10 Gigabits per second bandwidth, thereby minimizing run time degradation during debug. In addition, Hammer offers 100% source-level visibility without having to reconstruct signals ? a significant improvement over other hardware-assisted verification solutions.
Hammer works with existing RTL and gate-level verification environments. As a result, designers can plug-n-play their existing verification software, including the most popular Verilog HDL-based simulators from Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS), Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NYSE: CDN) and Mentor Graphics (NASDAQ: MENT) and Debussy debug environment from Novas Software.

Company Description

Founded in 1998, Tharas Systems is privately held with corporate headquarter located at 2518 Mission College Blvd., Suite 101, Santa Clara, CA 95054. Its high-performance verification technology leads to significant shortening of the verification cycle and material reduction in time-to-market for designers of complex integrated circuits and electronic systems. Tharas's Hammer custom-processor based hardware-assisted verification solution works in conjunction with popular Verilog and VHDL-based software simulators from Synopsys, Cadence Design, and Mentor Graphics.
