OLDENBURG, Germany and SAN JOSE, Calif. – Jan. 19, 2009
ChipVision Design Systems, the company whose award-winning, patented PowerOpt™ solution reduces power consumption up to 75% through system-level optimization, today announced that PowerOpt was chosen by the International Engineering Consortium (IEC) as a finalist in its fifth annual DesignVision Awards program. The program recognizes technologies, applications, products, and services judged to be the most unique and beneficial to the industry. Among 21 finalists in eight categories, ChipVision is the only company focused on power optimization, and the only start-up among the three finalists in the IC Design Tools category. PowerOpt was selected earlier by eg3.com as one of the three most exciting new Electronic System Level (ESL) products, and received the Editors Choice award.
“ChipVision is honored to be selected as a finalist by the IEC,” stated Thomas Blaesi, president and chief executive officer of ChipVision Design Systems. “The positive market reception of PowerOpt underscores the importance and potential of ESL power optimization, and we feel that this trend also is reflected in the IEC’s recognition of PowerOpt as a DesignVision finalist.”
DesignVision Award winners will be announced February 3 during DesignCon 2009, which will be held February 2-5 at Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, Calif.
About PowerOpt
Introduced in April 2008, PowerOpt enables system and semiconductor developers to analyze and optimize energy dissipation at the system level in critical blocks of their design; the software automatically creates RTL code optimized for power, performance and area. This ESL approach results in significant energy and time savings – up to 75% reduction in power consumption compared to RTL designed by hand – requiring a fraction of the effort.
About ChipVision Design Systems
ChipVision helps semiconductor companies significantly reduce power consumption through its leading system-level EDA software. Its award-winning, patented PowerOpt™ product enables semiconductor developers to accurately analyze power consumption at the system level and automatically achieve power savings of up to 75 percent compared to RTL design by hand. The software optimizes for low power while synthesizing ANSI C and SystemC code into Verilog RTL designs, automatically producing the lowest-power RTL architecture. The company’s solutions are based on open industry standards such as ANSI C, SystemC, CPF and UPF. ChipVision is headquartered in Oldenburg, Germany, and has offices in Munich and San Jose, Calif.
