The story

In 2000, EVE was founded in France.

In 2002, EVE launched its flagship ZeBu's first emulation product and SystemC support.

In May 2006, EVE introduced a communication link to SystemVerilog simulation, SystemVerilog assertion support, and a register transfer level compiler for mapping an ASIC or System-on-a-chip (SOC) design into ZeBu's arrays of FPGAs.

In January 2007, EVE acquired Tharas, a microprocessor-based hardware acceleration systems supplier.

In July 2009, EVE announced their ZeBu-Server emulator could handle one billion logic gates.

In October 2012, EVE was acquired by Synopsys.
