EVE Acquires Tharas Systems Inc.
Move Gives EVE Most Comprehensive Offering of Hardware-Assisted Verification Solutions
SAN JOSE, Calif. –– January 3, 2007 – EVE, a leading provider of high-performance, hardware-assisted verification solutions, announced today that it acquired Tharas Systems, Inc., developer of the Hammer line of hardware accelerators.
The acquisition is driven to strengthen and expand EVE's position in the hardware-assisted verification market from leading supplier of extremely fast emulation/prototyping solutions to provider of best-in-class accelerators.
Terms of the transaction were not announced, but most of Tharas' employees will be retained and merged into EVE-USA, the United States subsidiary of EVE based in San Jose.
Dr. Luc Burgun, EVE's chief executive officer (CEO) and president, comments: "After this acquisition, EVE becomes the broadest supplier of hardware-assisted tools, encompassing accelerators, emulators and FPGA prototypes. EVE can now serve a larger community of leading system-on-chip designers, including hardware engineers and embedded software developers."
The Hammer technology belongs to the processor-based systems and it is complementary to EVE's ZeBu emulation/prototyping systems. While ZeBu offers performance in the tens of megahertz speed mandatory for embedded software validation, Hammer offers the fastest compiler in the industry and simulator-like features such as four-state simulation and acceleration of behavioral code, making the two product lines synergistic.
"EVE is an exciting company with an impressive product line and remarkable growth," adds Subbu Ganesan, founder of Tharas Systems and now chief architect at EVE. "We welcome the opportunity to add our experience to such a successful company and together drive EVE to become the number one supplier of hardware-assisted offerings. This alliance will also greatly benefit our customers who will have access to a larger range of leading-edge products and who will benefit from the support of a much larger scale organization".
