Does any body know if Red hat Enterprise version 5 is compatible with
cadence.
 
Hi

The answer for your question is on the Cadence's web Site :
http://www.cadence.com/ -> Support Tab -> Computing Platform Support
The following links to this page may help you :


1. Cadence Platform Support Road-map :
http://www.cadence.com/support/computing/Cadence_Platform_Support_Pla...
The PDF doc mentions the support of RHEL 5.0 on X86_64 architectures
for 2008.


2. Supported Platform Matrix for Cadence Applications
http://www.cadence.com/support/computing/support_platform.aspx
The matrix shows the support of RHEL 5.0 on both X86/X86_64
architectures for ICS 6.1.2 (I guess it Virtuoso 6.1.2 but still
wondering what the 'S' doing there)
I'm wondering also if there is an unfortunate copy/paste regarding the
support of RHEL 5.0 for X86 (32). The above PDF does not mention it.

Anyway, the best for you to clear any doubt is to drop a quick email
for Cadence folks, they are very nice and friendly ;-)

Hope it helps !

There are previous postings from me on this forum discussing RHEL5 - I am
actually using it on my laptop all the time for the last 6 months. However,
the official support is from IC612 onwards. The "S" that Riad noticed indicates
a "solution" release - usually this is a vehicle we have to use to introduce now
licensed products, even if the actual code is not released as part of the ICS612
stream.

See http://tinyurl.com/49kcqy (which in turn references another post).

Actually the idea is to only support RHEL5 in 64 bit mode. Given that modern
hardware is 64 bit, there's a diminishing benefit in supporting on 32 bit
hardware/OS. Nobody asks for Solaris support on 32 bit for years now, so
there's no real reason why Linux should be any different. Many recent laptops
(especially if you want to use them for compute purposes too) are also 64 bit
(mine is 64 bit and dual-core, for example).

Andrew.
