SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Sequence Design this week (June 17) is announcing that it is porting all of its EDA tools to Linux. The company also claims to be experiencing significant run-time speed ups with the open-source operating system.
According to Sequence, internal tests reveal that the PowerTheater power analyzer runs as much as five times faster on Linux than existing platforms. In other tests, Sequence's PhysicalStudio product experienced a three-fold speedup on a 64-bit Intel Itanium 2-based Hewlett Packard workstation running Red Hat Linux.
Currently, Sequence has ported both PowerTheater and PhysicalStudio to Linux, and plans to follow with the rest of its tool portfolio by the end of 2003. Designers can request further information on Sequence's Linux benchmarks by sending e-mail to linux@sequencedesign.com.
