Alliance creates link from Matlab to ESL
C models generated from Matlab can now be efficiently run inside CoWare Signal Processing Designer, increasing the simulation performance by more than 3x in typical cases.
Software eases ESL 2.0 transition
CoWare is the first company to deliver a comprehensive and integrated offering for the ESL 2.0 era.
With the advent of technologies of 0.13um and below, design challenges are increasingly systems and embedded software issues, and require a comprehensive system-level design (SLD) solution including processor and bus design, algorithm development, and SoC architectural exploration and design.
CoWare's new Application Services and IP Integration organisation empowers customers to accelerate deployment of SLD tools by helping them implement proven methodologies and model key systems IP, and by providing training to engineers on new SLD techniques.
"Heinz has the proven ability to deliver real results on time-leveraging 18-plus years' experience leading semiconductor engineering organisations with multisite and multinational development teams", said Richards.

CoWare's platform-driven ESL design solution enables hardware verification, architecture exploration and software development on IBM PowerPC 440 and CoreConnect-based platforms.
"Heinz led the engineering team at CoWare that helped make the ConvergenSC Model Library the industry's most comprehensive portfolio available of fast and cycle-accurate SystemC IP models.
Now, this new organisation, with Heinz at the helm, will help our customers differentiate as they focus on getting their leading-edge designs to market".
"Above RTL, design concerns become much more application-specific", said Holzapfel.
"Our domain knowledge in the converging consumer electronics, computing, and communications market supports customers who are deploying CoWare's system-level design tools.
We have all of the components in place - superior products, the largest portfolio available of IP models for SLD, and a streamlined support infrastructure - to help these customers reduce their overall design time and beat their competition to market".
Dr Holzapfel joined CoWare in February 2003, when CoWare acquired Lisatek, where he was Vice President of Application Services.
Prior to Lisatek, Dr Holzapfel was Vice President of Engineering at Monolithic Systems, a startup focusing on embedded memory IP.
Previously, he worked for 15 years with Siemens and Infineon in multiple positions in Germany and the USA.
He was responsible for building a worldwide SoC development organisation with headquarters in San Jose, California.
Dr Holzapfel pioneered several new technologies, like the use of embedded DRAM technology for high memory densities and the use of mask programmable logic for low-cost and fast turnaround times for SoC products.
Dr Holzapfel is from Augsburg, Germany.
He holds an MD in solid state physics and a PhD in electrical engineering from the Technical University of Munich.
