Forte Design Systems aquired by Cadence

The completion of this transaction will enhance Cadence’s HLS offering and will enable Cadence to further drive a SystemC standard flow for design and multi-language verification. Growth in this sector is fueled by design teams migrating from hand-coded RTL design to SystemC-based design and verification to address increasing IP complexity and the need for rapid retargeting of IP to derivative architectures.

The entire Forte team, including the executive team, will join the System & Verification Group led by senior vice president Charlie Huang.
