CADENCE IC and linux kernel 2.6

[stefano]

Hello,
i want to ask if there are some problems running cadence ic on linux 2.6
series kernel (it is not supported as far I know). I have experienced
some problems with saving the states in the analog environment (the
overwritten simulation state doesn't get updated, but erased instead)
This forces me to use the 2.4 kernel, I expect some better performance
with kernel 2.6

thanks

Absolutely no problems related to the kernel. We have been using Linux
2.6 since SuSE9.1 was released. The kernel version reports
2.6.8-24.11-default on this machine with simulations currently
running.

The only thing related to the kernel version is a line
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
or
setenv LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.4.19
in the environment setup to force the use of the old threading model in
glibc.

Hope this helps
