Blue Pearl Software Launches JumpStart Program for Startups

SANTA CLARA, California – April 6, 2009 – Blue Pearl Software™, Inc. announces JumpStart, a program for pre-revenue startup companies that helps them improve design productivity, close timing faster, and create higher performance designs. JumpStart makes Blue Pearl’s cutting-edge suite of tools more affordable for startups doing ASIC and FPGA design and enables them to gain significant productivity and performance benefits.

Blue Pearl Software’s technology is designed to reduce the amount of design time spent at the critical RTL coding stage. The company’s tools include powerful RTL analysis and timing closure solutions. Indigo RTL Analysis reads RTL at a functional and structural level, enabling engineers to quickly identify coding issues early in the design flow. Cobalt Timing Constraint Generation reads RTL and automatically generates timing exceptions in SDC format, reducing the number of design iterations during timing closure and improving Quality of Results (QoR). Azure Timing Constraint Validation reduces the risk associated with manually generated timing constraints.

"Startups are driving innovation and Blue Pearl’s tools will give them the competitive edge they need to be successful." said Ellis Smith, CEO of Blue Pearl Software. “The JumpStart program is another example of how Blue Pearl Software is helping electronic design companies through this recessionary period."

JumpStart pricing for a single one year term license starts from $5K. A one year term license for a bundle of all three of Blue Pearl’s innovative tools is $15K. JumpStart is estimated to provide start-ups with a 100x or greater ROI. Startups interested in taking advantage of the JumpStart program should contact Blue Pearl Software’s sales department.
