Vennsa's OnPoint Makes DeepChip's Top 5 DAC Tools List for Second Consecutive Year

DAC Attendees Rate OnPoint Debugging, Error Localization Capabilities Clever


TORONTO--(Marketwire - Oct 2, 2012) - OnPoint™, register transfer level (RTL) debugging and error localization software from Vennsa Technologies Inc., has made DeepChip's list of Top 5 tools at this year's Design Automation Conference (DAC) for the second consecutive year.

"Users know where the pain is and it's in verification," says John Cooley, moderator of DeepChip.com. "That's why a tool like OnPoint is considered hot by DeepChip readers."

During DAC, Vennsa demonstrated OnPoint 2.0, featuring advanced causality analysis for forward debugging, along with a set of performance features to enhance scalability, accuracy and resolution. The latest version includes two years' worth of designer feedback. It eliminates the tedious and time-consuming manual debugging effort and makes the overall process faster and more intuitive.

"We're delighted OnPoint made DeepChip's list again this year," notes Dr. Andreas Veneris, Vennsa's president and chief executive officer. "It's especially gratifying to read that one anonymous engineer thinks OnPoint is clever because it can determine if the same bug is firing multiple checkers. Indeed it is, because OnPoint defines the next generation in debug automation for EDA users."

The list, published September 21, was compiled by John Cooley and can be found at: http://www.deepchip.com/items/dac12-05.html.
