Dr Raul Camposano has been named Chief Executive Officer at Xoomsys.

Xoomsys has announced the appointment of Dr Raul Camposano as Chief Executive Officer "Raul's record speaks for itself, and I am delighted that someone with his industry vision, experience and stature sees the exceptional value of our technology", says Anjaneya Thakar, Vice President of Marketing and Applications

"I can't think of a better person to lead our young company through the coming period of strong growth, and I'm looking forward to working with him".

Xoomsys technology leverages the ongoing trend towards pervasive parallel computing, such as multicore CPUs and networks of inexpensive Linux platforms.

Xoomsys effectively decouples large designs into independent pieces that can be simulated concurrently on distributed computers.

This allows Spice-accurate simulations to scale to previously unimaginable levels.

Shrinking geometries and increasing circuit complexity further increase the need for accurate simulation to capture nanometre effects and to precisely predict silicon behaviour.

Xoomsys' breakthrough technology builds on qualified SPICE simulators, both commercial and proprietary.

The scalability of the Xoomsys technology shines particularly with increased circuit coupling and with netlists dominated by extracted parasitics.

Before joining Xoomsys, Dr Camposano held several senior roles in industry and in academia, both in the USA and Germany.

Most recently he was CTO, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Silicon Engineering Group at Synopsys.

Very active in the EDA professional community, he serves on various boards, technical program committees and editorial boards worldwide.

He has published over 70 articles and three books on electronic design automation and was elected a fellow of the IEEE in 1999.

Dr Camposano holds an MS from the University of Chile, and a PhD in computer science from the University of Karlsruhe.

Dr Camposano says: "It is rare to find such a compelling break-through technology".

"Xoomsys has the potential to uniquely address pressing customer needs, and to open significant new markets".

"Harnessing the massive computing power of multiple CPUs to effectively scale Spice to run very large designs is the future in circuit simulation".

"It will go a long way to eliminate the accuracy gap between expected performance and behaviour of manufactured silicon".

"I'm excited to take the reins of this strong and capable team at such a crucial point in time".
