Hardware emulationIn integrated circuit design, hardware emulation is the process of imitating the behavior of one or more pieces of hardware (typically a system under design) with another piece of hardware, typically a special purpose emulation system. The emulation model is usually based on a hardware description language (e.g. Verilog) source code, which is compiled into the format used by emulation system. The goal is normally debugging and functional verification of the system being designed.

ATI TechnologiesATI Technologies Inc. était une entreprise canadienne, basée à Markham en Ontario, active dans la production de microprocesseurs pour cartes graphiques et de chipsets pour PC, téléphones portables et consoles de jeux vidéo. Elle est rachetée par AMD en 2006, qui choisit de mettre fin à l'utilisation de la marque ATI pour ses produits au profit de la marque AMD, tout en conservant le logo Radeon. Fondée en 1985 au Canada par trois immigrants chinois (Lee Ka Lau, Benny Lau, Kwok Yuen Ho), ATI a démarré comme société OEM, en concevant des circuits intégrés graphiques pour PC.
