"Faced with tremendous architecture challenges in building their next generation systems, US companies find in CoFluent's offering what they have been demanding - a flexible, open standards-based, agile solution that allows them to rapidly develop and optimise the system architecture using functional, timing and performance constraints", says Stephane Leclercq, CEO of CoFluent Design.
"Customers are using our flagship product, CoFluent Studio, to develop the optimum system architecture at the beginning of the design flow, where 80% of the design's value is determined".
"CoFluent Studio is used not only to optimise performance, functionality, power consumption, cost, and overall fitness for purpose in new designs, but also to analyse the impact of architecture modifications and updates to existing designs, and to validate existing architectures against new applications".
"With a US office, a customer-proven ESL methodology, and Hagay leading our US expansion, we're now better able to serve our growing US customer base".
"I'm very excited to be a part of the CoFluent team because its unique methodological background and capacity to separate the application from the implementation platform fulfills the promise of early and short architecture exploration for all", says Hagay Zamir.
CoFluent Design also announced the appointment of Luc Burgun and Vincent Encontre to its supervisory board, bringing tremendous experience in terms of strategy and business development.
Luc Burgun is the President and CEO of Eve, a leading provider of high-performance, hardware-assisted verification tools.
Vincent Encontre is President and CEO of Intuilab, a software startup developing innovative graphical user interface (GUI) technology.
