Liga Systems Spotlights Hybrid Simulation Technology At DAC 2007 For Turbo Charging Performance At Dramatically Reduced Cost

Universal Productivity Increases, Scalability and Ability to Simplify Existing Methodologies Makes NitroSIM™ Ideally Suited for RTL/Gate and Verification Engineers

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – May 31, 2007 – Liga Systems, Inc., a Silicon Valley-Based EDA company focused on delivering lightning-fast RTL simulation to the desktop, will spotlight its Hybrid Simulation technology at the Design Automation Conference (DAC) in San Diego, California, June 4 – 7, 2007. Since unveiling NitroSIM™, its Hybrid Simulator, at DAC 2006, the company has been working with more than a dozen Beta customers on very complex designs including graphics chips, processors, video chips, networking chips, and gaming systems. NitroSIM’s fast compile, ease-of-use, 4-state simulation compliance, assertion support, visibility, and testbench/XMR support has impressed customers and already outperformed testbench-driven hardware accelerators.

Demonstrations of NitroSIM™ in booth #1760

Demonstrations of NitroSIM™, Liga’s breakthrough, patented, drop-in Hybrid Simulator that boosts desktop and compute farm server simulation speed by 10 to 100 times, will be provided in booth #1760. Both RTL and gate-level accelerated simulations and flows will be demonstrated in separate demos using an industry simulator and standard debug methods. Advanced features, such as behavioral acceleration and incremental compilation will be shown in another demo. An introductory demo is also available. Demos are to run continually each day and early sign up is available for one, two or all demos.

Requests for private appointments in Liga’s demo suite can be booked in advance of the show by visiting http://www.ligasystems.com/dacsignup.php or sending email to dac@ligasystems.com. For a more immediate response, please call +1 (408) 745 6100, x225.

Suite visitors will be offered F18 aircraft models.
