Physware Names Former Synopsys CTO Raul Camposano as CEO

Company Expands Leadership Role in Scalable and Parallel System Simulation

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA. – November 30, 2010 – Physware, a leading provider of scalable and parallel solutions for Signal Integrity (SI), Power Integrity (PI), Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Simultaneous Noise Integrity (SNI), today announced the appointment of Dr. Raul Camposano as Chief Executive Officer.

Before joining Physware, Dr. Camposano held several senior roles in industry and in academia, both in the United States and Germany.  He was CTO, senior vice president and general manager for over 10 years at Synopsys.  After Synopsys, he served as CEO of Xoomsys.  Dr. Camposano is active in the EDA professional community, serving on various boards, technical program committees and editorial boards worldwide.  He has published over 70 articles and three books on electronic design automation and was elected a fellow of the IEEE in 1999.  Dr. Camposano holds an M.S. from the University of Chile and a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Karlsruhe.

"Physware is the right technology at the right time,” said Dr. Camposano. “Harnessing the massive computing power of the cloud to effectively scale 3D electromagnetic simulation to run very large designs is the future of 3DIC, package and board design. I'm excited to join this outstanding team.”

"I am delighted that someone with Raul’s industry experience and stature sees the potential of our technology,” said Greg Gottesman, board member of Physware and Managing Director of Madrona Venture Group.  “I can't think of a better person to lead our company through the coming period of growth.”

Physware technology leverages the ongoing trend towards pervasive parallel computing, in particular multi-core CPUs and Cloud Computing.  The company’s patent-pending, physics-aware technology tightly couples analysis and design methods to the underlying Maxwell’s and circuit equations, enabling efficient chip-package-system co-design and robustness and efficiency at every step of the design cycle while significantly reducing time to market.  Physware’s accelerated technology delivers unprecedented capacity, handling in 3DIC, package and system simulations.

"Today's CEO announcement is a strong endorsement of Physware's business and our strategic vision," said Bala Vishwanath, President of Physware. "Physware will greatly benefit from Raul's experience in driving value creation for our customers.  His industry experience is an ideal complement to our current management team to continue to deliver on Physware’s business plan."
