Real Intent Highlights Latest Technology for Advanced Sign-Off Verification at DAC 2011

San Diego, CA – May 19, 2011 – Real Intent Inc., the leading provider of software products that accelerate Advanced Sign-Off Verificationof electronic designs, today announced it will highlight its latest technology and proven solutions at this year’s 48th Design Automation Conference (DAC) in San Diego, California, June 6-8, 2011. Real Intent will feature its Ascent™ XV solution, the industry’s first and only solution for comprehensive X-verification and sign-off. Ascent XV isolates and eliminates functional bugs that are masked by X (or unknown value) propagation in Register Transfer Level (RTL) simulation and reduces gate-level simulation debugging due to mismatches between RTL and gate-level simulation results. Featured are the latest advances in Meridian™ CDC, the industry’s flagship Clock Domain Crossing sign-off verification solution, and new capabilities within Ascent Lint, the industry’s fastest and most accurate lint solution with links to automatic formal checks in Ascent IIV (Implied Intent Verification). Real Intent will also show Meridian DFT, its Design for Test verification solution, and PureTime™, its constraints management solution with glitch-aware exception verification.

Demonstrations of Ascent Family, Meridian Family and PureTime solutions are available during exhibit hours, Monday through Wednesday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, at Real Intent’s DAC booth #2131, San Diego Convention Center.

Requests for private appointments in Real Intent’s demo suites may be booked in advance of the show by sending email todac@realintent.com.

Panel: The Billion Dollar Question: How to Verify Billion-Gate Designs

Real Intent’s CEO, Prakash Narain, will be participating in a DAC conference panel titled The Billion Dollar Question: How to Verify Billion-Gate Designs, which will be held on Wednesday, June 8, from 4:00 to 6:00 PM in Room 33ABC. This panel will discuss what solutions are crucial for verifying designs susceptible to complex failures arising from corner-case confluences of timing and functionality. The panel will debate the merits of emerging solutions for such self-contained verification problems that threaten to subvert the nominal “simulation plus STA” verification flow. Other speakers on the panel include: Dammy Olopade – Intel Corp.; Kathryn Kranen – Jasper Design Automation, Inc.; Dan Smith – NVIDIA Corp.; Rowland Reed – Qualcomm, Inc.; and Y.C. Wong – Broadcom Corp. The Chair of this session is Sandip Kundu – Univ. of Massachusetts, and the Organizer is Himanshu Bhatnagar – Mindspeed Technologies, Inc.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
