CoWare Appoints Dr. Heinz Holzapfel Vice President of New Application Services and IP Integration Organization
SAN JOSE, Calif.,--October 29, 2003--CoWare, Inc., the leading supplier of system-level electronic design automation (EDA) software, today announced the appointment of Dr. Heinz P. Holzapfel as vice president of its new Application Services and IP Integration organization, reporting to Peter Richards, vice president of worldwide field operations. Dr. Holzapfel was previously senior director for IP Integration at CoWare.
With the advent of .13 micron and below technologies, design challenges are increasingly systems and embedded software issues, and require a comprehensive system-level design (SLD) solution including processor and bus design, algorithm development, and SoC architectural exploration and design. CoWare's new Application Services and IP Integration organization empowers customers to accelerate deployment of SLD tools by helping them implement proven methodologies and model key systems IP, and by providing training to engineers on new SLD techniques.
"Heinz has the proven ability to deliver real results on time—leveraging 18-plus years' experience leading semiconductor engineering organizations with multi-site and multinational development teams," said Richards. "Heinz led the engineering team at CoWare that delivered on making the ConvergenSC Model Library the industry's most comprehensive portfolio available of fast and cycle-accurate SystemC IP models. Now, this new organization, with Heinz at the helm, will help our customers differentiate as they focus on getting their leading-edge designs to market."
"Above RTL, design concerns become much more application-specific," said Holzapfel. "Our domain knowledge in the converging consumer electronics, computing, and communications market supports customers who are deploying CoWare's system-level design tools. We have all of the components in place—superior products, the largest portfolio available of IP models for SLD, and a streamlined support infrastructure—to help these customers reduce their overall design time and beat their competition to market."
