Mentor Graphics Announces Product Certification for 64-Bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux Platform
WILSONVILLE, Ore., Sept. 1, 2005 - Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced its support for 64-bit Linux platforms by declaring full operational qualification for its analog/mixed-signal tool set. Mentor's entire line of Eldo{reg} and ADVance MS™ analog and mixed-signal products have been certified for operation on Opteron and EM64T processor architectures using the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 platform.
"Linux on X86-64 hardware is proving to be a great performance platform for our products," said Jue-Hsien Chern, vice president and general manager of Mentor's Deep Submicron Division. Mentor's AMS (Analog/Mixed-Signal) products and CICD (Custom IC Design) tools join Mentor's DFT tools (Design for Test), ModelSim{reg} and the Calibre design-to-silicon platform to offer customers a wide choice in 64-bit computing. The move to 64-bit processing will become more crucial as engineers begin to design at 65nm and below and populate each chip with millions of gates.
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux for 64-bit architectures delivers unbelievable performance at a great value, especially for compute-intensive workloads found in the EDA market," said Tim Yeaton, senior vice president of Marketing at Red Hat. "Red Hat is proud to partner with Mentor on this first-class solution for our mutual customers."
Mentor Graphics products are also available on Novell Linux SLES 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 for Xeon-64, and Opteron platforms.
