	Cadence Compliance Management System and Metric Drive Verification Enables ClearSpeed to Reach Coverage Goals Faster   By Mike Bartley Test and verification Manager ClearSpeed We brought up the CMS compliance test suite in our verification environment in just a day. Our team was impressed with the rapid results. We identified a number of failures right away and were now working to dramatically expand our regression runs to take full advantage of the CMS. more >> V1 ColdFire $10K - Famous IP Available Online - Visit the IPextreme Core Store™ more >>		Wireless LAN/802.11n, Bluetooth, UWB/WUSB, 1394 IPs & Solutions.
