Design Automation Conference 2003
Booth #1566
FREIBURG, Germany & STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 28,
2003--Concept Engineering and Prover Technology today announced an OEM
agreement that gives Prover Technology the right to use Concept's
Nlview(TM) Widget in the Prover(R) eCheck equivalence checker.
Nlview, the industry-standard visualization engine, enables Prover
to provide debugging features related to equivalence checking without
implementing yet another schematic visualization engine. As a result,
Prover eCheck can offer its customers state-of-the-art debug support
in a cost-effective way, contributing to the best return on
investment.
"Concept Engineering and Prover Technology are both committed to
continued technology innovation and excellent quality," said Gerhard
Angst, president and CEO of Concept Engineering. "We are delighted
that Prover has selected our visualization technology."
By plugging in the NlviewQT widget for the Qt Multiplatform
application development framework, Prover eCheck immediately benefited
from the advanced and mature schematic viewing capabilities. By OEMing
this technology, Prover Technology saves valuable time and resources,
and is able to focus on improving and adding debug features that go
beyond displaying schematics, ensuring their customers continued ease
of use.
Gunnar Stalmarck, CEO of Prover Technology, said, "Nlview enables
us to offer the most intuitive debugging support without spending time
reinventing the wheel. Any vendor can OEM state-of-the-art schematic
display engines, HDL front-ends, proof engines and other EDA
components. When EDA companies focus on their core business and OEM
the rest, end users get better tools, we get to market faster, and
everybody saves money."
Prover eCheck, including the Nlview Widget and debug capabilities,
will be demonstrated in Prover Technology's Booth #1566 at the Design
Automation Conference (DAC), June 2-6, at the Anaheim Convention
Center in Anaheim, Calif.
