    Synopsys, Inc., a global leader providing software, IP and services
    used to accelerate innovation in chips and electronic systems, today
    announced that the final stage of the Seventh Annual International
    Microelectronics Olympiad of Armenia took place at the Synopsys
    Armenia Education Department (SAED), with competitors winning 23
    prizes in 10 categories. A full list of the winners is provided below.

    Held in conjunction with Synopsys Week in Armenia 2012, this year's
    competition reflected the diversity of participants from 14 countries:
    Armenia, Belarus, China, Egypt, Germany, India, Jordan, Malaysia,
    Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, UAE, Ukraine and the USA. Out of the
    418 competitors in the Olympiad, 191 were from Armenian universities
    and IT companies and 227 were from international universities and
    organizations.

    The Olympiad highlights some of the brightest, most talented engineers
    under the age of 30. Olympiad topics for 2012 included Digital
    IC Design and Test, Analog and Mixed-Signal IC Design and Test,
    Semiconductor Devices and Technology, and Mathematic and Algorithmic
    Issues of Electronic Design Automation (EDA).

    The competition was conducted in two stages. The first stage, held
    in the participants' countries during September, involved a test to
    establish a baseline. The second stage involved a challenging contest
    consisting of advanced engineering tasks requiring complex solutions.

    Of 418 participants in the first stage, 34 were qualified to progress
    to the second stage, which was held on October 4 in Yerevan at the
    SAED. Of these 34 contestants, 14 were from Yerevan, four were from
