                  High-Performance Emulation Systems

              Henry Verheyen                  Amr Mohsen
       Vice-President of Engineering    Chief Executive Officer

                          Aptix Corporation
                         San Jose, California


The talk will cover the essentials of high-performance emulation
systems:

    Reprogrammable systems that can be optimized under software
        control to gain the highest speed and density mapping possible
        for FPGA prototyping and emulation solutions.

    FPICs, high-density FPGAs and Synthesis can be combined as three
        key technologies to enable high speed prototyping, real-time
        debug and flow-automation.

    Typical emulation solutions can operate at 20MHz and can be used
        as real time prototyping systems for many applications,
        especially in the telecom and multi-media areas.

    The Aptix solution differs dramatically from the commercial
        emulator systems, and this difference plays in with emerging
        methodology changes, particular in the areas of communications
        designs, deep-sub micron design and embedded systems designs.

    Customer examples are highlighted to demonstrate real-life
        success.
