May 9, 2007 -- GateRocket, Inc. has selected Verific Design Automation, Inc.'s hardware description language (HDL) Component Software to serve as the front end to the newly launched RocketDrive Device Native verification solution for advanced FPGAs. The HDL Component Software from Verific includes SystemVerilog, Verilog and VHDL parsers, analyzers and elaborators and is used in a variety of EDA tools for exploring, navigating, analyzing, documenting and modifying large designs, FPGAs, ASICs, ASSPs. Written in platform-independent C++, the software compiles on Solaris, HP-UX, Linux and Windows platforms. All products are licensed as source code and come with online support and maintenance.

The RocketDrive Device Native verification solution is powered by the speed of hardware, the accuracy of the true chip behavior and the unbounded scalability of a system prototype. RocketDrive exhaustively validates and tests an FPGA design before committing to production, enabling shorter product development times, higher product quality and improved performance. GateRocket has integrated Verific's HDL Component Software with RocketDrive to provide the most comprehensive and compatible HDL language coverage and robustness for the user community.
