Santa Cruz, Calif. — After leading the architectural-validation effort for Intel Corp.'s P6 processor core, Reed Chris-tensen decided there must be a better way. The result was Bellum Software, a startup that's developed a protocol capture tool that handles data in a graphical format. The tool will roll out at the Design Automation Conference next week. In addition to the Protocollum tool, which allows communications systems engineers to capture, edit and test a protocol architectural specification, Bellum is bringing a familiar name back to the EDA industry. Bob Hunter, former president of HDL simulation pioneer Model Technology, serves as the Hillsboro, Ore., company's vice president of marketing and sales.
