Combination of Virtutech Simics and IBM Rational Build Forge Extends Virtualized
Systems Development (VSD) Into the Software Build, Test, Package and Deploy
Cycle

Virtutech, Inc.:
DEMONSTRATION DETAILS
WHAT: Virtutech, Inc., the leader in Virtualized Systems Development (VSD), will demonstrate an integration of its Simics, Ready for Rational platform with IBM Rational Build Forge.
WHY: Today`s systems include an increasing number of multi-CPU/ASIC/FPGA/DSP, platforms or network connected servers. As a result, the complexity and effort of developing, building, testing and integrating these systems has become a major challenge to many development teams.
These challenges are eased through the adoption of VSD; the process of developing, integrating and testing full systems software like OS, driver, communication and application software, on a virtual system instead of real hardware. The use of a flexible virtualized system instead of rigid physical hardware dramatically improves "what-if?" scenarios for design exploration, early-integration, development team collaboration and debugging.
IBM Rational Build Forge is a flexible, adaptive framework capable of adding process automation, acceleration, notification and scheduling capabilities to existing software for building, testing, packaging and deploying solutions. Now with the integration of Simics and IBM Rational Build Forge, the benefits of VSD extend to cover the software build, test, package and deploy cycle.
WHEN: Sunday, May 31-Friday, June 4, 2009
WHERE: Virtutech booth, #522
IBM Rational Conference
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Florida.

About Simics
Simics is a high performance full-system simulator that enables engineers to
develop, debug, test and run their entire software application stack on a
virtual representation of their target hardware named virtual platform. The
overall engineering development efforts are reduced through advanced
capabilities normally not available with physical hardware: non-invasive
debugging and tracing, saving and later resuming execution, full deterministic
behavior, built-in networking capabilities, forward and reverse execution,
ability to examine, control, and break on any internal device and to inject
faults, and the ability to save system state and later replay it. Simics runs
unmodified production-quality binaries and can be used with third party software
development tools.
About Virtutech
Virtutech, Inc. is the leader in product development process improvement through
virtualized systems development (VSD). Virtutech Simics allows for a
revolutionary change in the product development process at a full system level
rather than a component level and is the only commercial solution that delivers
the four most important criteria for successful deployment of hardware
virtualization in the electronics equipment development process: speed,
scalability, model availability, and control. Simics customers report reduced
time to market, better project risk management, lower capital expenditure,
product development cost and maintenance as well as increased quality and
individual productivity. Virtutech serves the needs of the world`s leading OEMs
in the high-performance computing, aerospace and defense, telecommunications,
networking and semiconductor industries. Customers include Cisco, Ericsson,
Freescale Semiconductor, GE Avionics, Honeywell, IBM, Lockheed Martin, Nortel,
Northrop Grumman, MontaVista Software and Wind River. Virtutech is an active
participant in organizations to drive adoption of VSD such as ARM Connected
Community, Eclipse.org, IBM PartnerWorld, Multicore Association, Power.org, OSCI
and Spirit Consortium. Virtutech is headquartered in San Jose, Calif. For more
