The MathWorks Acquires PolySpace Technologies, Leading Developer of
Embedded System Code Verification Tools
NATICK, Mass. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) April 26, 2007 --
The MathWorks today
announced that it has acquired PolySpace Technologies, a software
company based in Grenoble, France that provides embedded software tools
for the automatic detection of run-time errors at compile time.
“For companies building high-reliability and
safety-critical embedded systems, high-quality, bug-free software is
essential,” said Jack Little, chief executive
officer of The MathWorks. “PolySpace tools
detect the types of run-time errors that are responsible for 30 to 40
percent of all software errors. This acquisition enables a tighter
coupling of the PolySpace automatic verification tools to Simulink®,
aimed at reducing the verification bottlenecks in embedded system
development workflows. We’re also fully
committed to error detection in hand-written code, supporting embedded
system developers who are not users of the MATLAB®
and Simulink products.”
“We’re very happy
to be joining The MathWorks,” said Daniel
Pilaud, chief executive officer of PolySpace Technologies, “and
we believe our users will benefit from the resources that The MathWorks
brings to improve the development and verification processes for
real-time embedded systems. The MathWorks has a very loyal customer
base, a proven track record of innovation, and a company culture that
matches well with our own.”
PolySpace tools are currently used worldwide in aerospace,
automotive, defense,
transportation, consumer electronics, telecommunications, and
medical devices.
PolySpace products include PolySpace for Hand-Written Code, PolySpace
for Model-Based Design, and PolySpace for UML.
