Funding to expand simulation deployment

Xoomsys technology allows Spice-accurate simulations to scale to previously unimaginable levels.

Xoomsys has raised a second round of funding from leading venture capital firms to expand its engineering and sales and support teams as it prepares for wide deployment of its breakthrough solution.

"The main attraction for us was Xoomsys' unique technology that offers a compelling solution for some of the most vexing problems facing IC designers", says Greg Williams, Partner at DAG Ventures.

"Aligning Xoomsys' innovative approach with the burgeoning trend towards pervasive distributed processing - coupled with a huge pent-up demand for such a solution - will drive rapid market acceptance".

"We are very excited to participate".

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

Xoomsys technology leverages the ongoing trend towards pervasive parallel computing, including multicore CPUs and networks of cost-effective Linux platforms.

By effectively decoupling large designs to enable concurrent simulation, Xoomsys technology allows Spice-accurate simulations to scale to previously unimaginable levels.

"Xoomsys offers industry's only scalable solution for Spice, which will fundamentally change the circuit simulation market", says Raul Camposano, President and CEO of Xoomsys.

"We are privileged to have DAG join us in this round and to maintain our strong relationship with Benchmark and Morgenthaler as we grow the company for wider deployment of our unique scalable, distributed processing solution for accurate large-scale circuit simulation".

Xoomsys is demonstrating its technology on Booth 7178 at the 44th Design Automation Conference (DAC 2007) in San Diego, until 7th June 2007.
