September 11, 2012 -- Rocketick, a pioneer in GPU-based simulation acceleration for chip verification, today announced that it has joined the Cadence Design Systems Connections® program.

The Cadence Connections Program enables and supports member companies to develop complementary solutions across the electronics design flow in order to help customers solve their most challenging technical problems. As a member of this program, Rocketick is enabled to enhance the integration between Cadence Incisive® Enterprise Simulator and RocketSim, a product that attaches to existing simulators and offers 10X faster simulations using GPUs.

"We are pleased to welcome Rocketick to the Connections program," says Pat Dutrow, senior marketing manager, Connections Program, at Cadence. "We look forward to working with the Rocketick team to enhance the interoperability of our products for the benefit of our mutual customers."

"A tighter integration between Incisive and RocketSim will enable us to further increase the overall acceleration factor beyond 10X," remarks Uri Tal, Rocketick’s CEO. "Through the program, we will link RocketSim with the Cadence Incisive Enterprise Simulator to meet common customers’ challenges."
