FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Virage Logic Corporation
(NASDAQ:VIRL), the semiconductor industry's trusted IP partner and
pioneer in Silicon Aware IP', today announced its participation in
the inaugural Armenia Technology Congress (ArmTech Congress 2007) to
be held July 4-7, 2007, at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. The
company boasts a significant presence in the Southwest Asian nation
and has contributed the time and talents of key executives -
including President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dan McCranie,
who will deliver a keynote address, and Vice President and Chief
Scientist Dr. Yervant Zorian, who serves as Program Chair - to help
define and execute the conference program.
`Virage Logic's extensive participation in ArmTech Congress 2007
reflects our deep commitment to Armenia as a center for world-class
engineering talent and a region in which we expect continued
expansion,' said Dan McCranie, president, CEO and director of Virage
Logic. `We are proud to support this inaugural conference and I trust
that anyone who attends will come away with a profound appreciation
for the wealth of intellectual resources Armenia has to offer.'
Virage Logic in Armenia
Recognizing a vital source of technology engineering talent, Virage
Logic established its research and development center in Armenia in
1999, three years after the company's founding. Today the company's
more than 100 employees in Armenia account for nearly one-quarter of
its worldwide workforce and contribute to several important product
development initiatives. The Armenian research and development (R&D)
organization is central to the company's groundbreaking Self-Test and
Repair (STAR) Memory System', the semiconductor industry's first
integrated embedded test and repair memory system and the first of
the company's Silicon Aware IP solutions. In addition to development
of the STAR Memory System, the Armenian engineering team is involved
in the development of the company's software, NOVeA® non-volatile
embedded memory product, I/O products and overall memory design.
`Our Armenia R&D center was largely responsible for the STAR Memory
System, a significant product that has enabled customers to improve
their semiconductor yield by up to 250 percent,' said Dr. Zorian.
`Based on the consistent innovation and results our Armenian
engineers have produced, we see our growing investment in the region
as offering substantial dividends for our products and our
customers.'
