Lauded for Demonstrated Innovation in Significant Technological Advancement, Product Development
BOSTON –– February 22, 2010 –– EVE, the leader in hardware/software co-verification, announced today that ZeBu-Server, a scalable and affordable emulation system, has been selected from hundreds of nominations to be a finalist for this year’s EDN Innovation Awards.
Instituted in 1990, the Innovation Awards honor the people, products, and technologies that have shaped the semiconductor industry over the past year. ZeBu-Server was selected for the electronic design automation (EDA): Front-End Simulation and Database Tools category. This year’s list of finalists features 32 categories and more than 120 products that shipped in volume in the 2009 calendar year.
To qualify, EVE demonstrated innovation that resulted in a significant advance in technology and product development with ZeBu-Server during the past 12 months. ZeBu-Server is suitable for all system-on-chip (SoC) verification needs across the entire development cycle, from hardware verification, hardware/software integration to embedded software validation and can handle up to one-billion application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) gates.
“We received an impressive number of submissions for our 2009 Innovation Awards program, indicating that innovation was alive and well despite the economically challenging year,” says Rick Nelson, EDN editor-in-chief. “Despite our editors’ best efforts to narrow the field, more than 120 products qualified as finalists, and our editors worked diligently to group them into 30 competitive categories, representing components, integrated circuits, test systems, EDA tools, design and test software, subsystems, and systems. EVE’s ZeBu-Server was one of the outstanding submissions our editors chose. And now, it’s up to the readers to determine which product in each category they find most compelling.”
During February and March, EDN’s worldwide audience of electronic engineers and engineering managers will use an online ballot to select the ultimate winners from among the finalists. EDN’s editorial staff also takes part in determining the final winners. Visit www.EDN.com/innovation20 to review each of the nominees. Winners will be announced at a reception and awards ceremony April 26 in San Jose, Calif.
