Why Hardware Emulation's OS is Like a Computer System
Mentor's Charley Selvidge has been thinking that the operating system of a hardware emulator is a natural evolution of the way software systems are built for emulators.
Charley Selvidge, chief engineering manager at Mentor, a Siemens Business, has an unassuming and modest demeanor that belies a sharp intellect and professorial ability to explain complex concepts in easy-to-understand terms.

In the late 1990s, Charley was a founder of Virtual Machine Works, which was located a stone's throw from MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts. VMW, as it was known, was acquired by IKOS Systems in 1998, which subsequently became part of Mentor in 2002.
