Well said, another thing to note, my university recieved a complete tool set from Mentor, Cadence and Synopsis I was supprised at how many of the applications were AMD64 compatible!

Can you tell us what kinds of EDA tools you are using?

I am a backend designer, most of my work relate to the following tools (currently run in 32-bit mode, some of them has 64-bit capability too):

MG icstation, calibre, da_ic.
hspice.exe, cosmos.
primetime, nanosim, starsim_xt.
NCV, VCS.
Most of Cadence apps: icfb, SOC PKS.

and other front end apps.

Whether AMD64 is supported depends on the version of kernel. So I guess RH7.3/8 typically does not support AMD64 if you use the original kernel.

We are using single Opteron Linux boxes for all our design workstations, and multiple CPUs for simulatin farm. All 32-bit EDA applications run like charm. For some 64-bit ready applications, they are runnning great.

Yes, I agree that they are AMD64 compatible, but please tell me which product is 64bit Linux, I guess none.
