WILSONVILLE, Ore.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—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(R) and ADVance MS(TM) 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(R) 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.
