ARM Acquires OBSIDIAN SOFTWARE
CAMBRIDGE, UK , Jun. 17, 2011-- ARM® [(LSE:ARM); (Nasdaq:ARMH)], today announced that it has acquired Obsidian Software, a market leader in verification and validation used in the design of increasingly complex processors. Obsidian Software is a privately-owned company, with offices in Austin, Texas.
As System on Chip (SoCs) and processors grow in complexity there is an increasing need to develop more sophisticated verification strategies. This acquisition augments ARM's drive in matching its verification strategies with the rate of change in its high performance, complex SoC IP components.
"ARM and Obsidian Software have had a long relationship which started with early work on Cortex™-A8" said Mike Inglis, GM and EVP, Processor Division, ARM. "The technology and people that will come with this acquisition are a significant addition to our capabilities in maximizing quality and reducing time to market of ARM-based SoCs."
"Obsidian Software has a long history of building advanced verification tools for the ARM architecture and enabling ARM partners" said Eric Hennenhoefer, President of Obsidian Software. "The ARM ecosystem will be extended by the addition of Obsidian Software's verification solutions, which will accelerate the success of the ARM architecture in the marketplace."
The Obsidian Software validation team will become part of an ARM Processor validation team based in Austin, Texas.
