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 ! Riad.

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). Regards, Andrew.
