PRESS RELEASE
06/02/97 10:00 Fintronic releases Super FinSim. Aggressive pric-
ing!
San Mateo CA (June 2, 1997) Fintronic USA, Inc. the supplier of
high quality Verilog Simulators (with over 800 Verilog simulators
installed worldwide) announces today that it has introduced Super
FinSim to its product line. Super FinSim supports the entire
Verilog language, as well as a complete simulation environment
based on PLI, SDF, and VCD. Super FinSim provides any mixture of
compiled and interpreted simulation in order to achive the
fastest turnaround time. Short simulations are run in interpreted
mode whereas long simulations are run in compiled mode. State-
ments that are seldom executed are interpreted whereas statements
often executed are compiled.
Technology: With Super FinSim Fintronic has introduced the first
mixed event and cycle simulator for Verilog. A smart partitioner
analyzes the design and decides which areas can be simulated by
the Enhanced Cycle Simulation (ECS) kernel. The rest is simulated
by the event driven kernel. Therefore Super FinSim does not re-
quire any special design methodology. It preserves accurate tim-
ing information, can handle modules with path delays, and sup-
ports simulation values of Xs and Zs.
Super FinSim supports all popular display tools including Design
Acceleration's SignalScan, Veritools's Undertow, and IK Technolo-
gy's Ishizue. FinSim, which does not include the ECS kernel nor
the optimizations made possible by the detailed analysis required
for the ECS partitioning, is the simulator used in the Veribest
Design System.
As an option, Super FinSim supports FinCov a tightly integrated
code coverage with very low overhead (under 35%), making it a vi-
able solution for regression code coverage.
Super FinSim supports co-verification of C code and hardware by
providing an efficient interface between the simulated C code and
the hardware simulation.
Pricing and Availability: Super FinSim provides the best value
for the money. List prices include one year maintenance. Prices
on the PC platform have recently dropped. The new line of Super
FinSim simulators range in price from $799 to $28,000 depending
on product configuration and platform. Fintronic has a Web page
at http://www.fintronic.com, which can be used for placing or-
ders, requesting demo licenses, checking prices, etc. Fintronic
provides hotline support and software distribution via the Inter-
net. For more information send e-mail to in...@fintronic.com or
contact Dr Alec Stanculescu by calling 415 349 0108/x105.
Mission: Fintronic USA has a mission to supply the highest per-
formance Verilog simulators available at the best price/perfor-
mance ratio.
Fintronic will exhibit at DAC 97 in booth no 546 in the Anaheim
Convention Center, June 9-12, 1997. Fintronic's vendor presenta-
tion will be held in rooms A6/A7 on June 9, at 9:20am.
