Our Legacy

From MIMIC to Simic

MIMIC, developed at RCA in the mid-70s, achieved unprecedented 98% first-time silicon success. Genashor's Simic was a complete ground-up redesign that reduced simulation time from hours to seconds with enhanced accuracy and functionality.

ASIC Excellence

Maintained 98% first-time silicon success rate with revolutionary new tools. We designed the most complex of Marconi's "7-sister" communications chips and successfully redesigned the 6 others not done by us that had failed.

Industry Leadership

Contributing to the creation of the first Design Automation Conference and development of the VHDL standard. Supporting over 60 companies worldwide with innovative EDA solutions.

Recognition & Impact

David Sarnoff Award

Awarded to Gary Gendel for Outstanding Technical Achievement for pioneering work on MIMIC. This was the last technical award given by RCA, recognizing the revolutionary impact on IC design.

Two Technical Emmy Awards

For creating a device simulating the human vision system for video grading, and for developing satellite broadcast stream verification technology.

Six Patents

Holder of six patents in MPEG and image processing, contributing to advances in these fields.
