CynApps completes the platform with high value synthesis, simulation, and compiler technology, representing a new generation of design automation for both design and verification teams. CynApps provides these products and customized methodology services to clients around the world. After proving the enabling technology on several flagship designs, Dr. John Sanguinetti and his team founded CynApps in May 1998. These founders have assembled an elite cadre of simulation, synthesis, compiler and architecture development experts.
