Carbon Becomes Fujitsu Cedar(TM)-ESL Services Partner

WALTHAM, Mass.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—February 20, 2008— Carbon Design Systems(TM), the leading supplier of tools for the automatic creation, validation and deployment of virtual hardware models, today announced that it has been named a Cedar(TM)-ESL Services Partner by Fujitsu Limited of Tokyo, Japan.

Carbon's automatic model generation technology has been integrated into Fujitsu's Cedar(TM)-ESL Services. Carbon Model Studio creates SystemC models for electronic system level (ESL) environments, including those from ARM, CoWare, Synopsys, VaST and others, for Fujitsu's application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) customers.

"SystemC transaction level modeling (TLM) models are a key component of an ESL design methodology," notes Takashi Hasegawa, Director, ESL and Verification Department, SoC Design Engineering Division, Electronic Devices Business Unit of Fujitsu Limited. "Carbon's technology enables the integration of legacy designs into the ESL world and automatically generates hardware accurate ESL models for new designs."

"Fujitsu has taken a visionary approach to ESL design and it shows through its verification services model and partner program," notes Scott Seaton, Carbon's vice president of sales. "Carbon values this relationship."
